How many total electoral votes are there in the United States?

100.
270.
435.
538.

The correct answer is: 538.

The correct answer is 538. This is because there are 435 electoral votes based on the number of representatives in the House of Representatives, 100 electoral votes based on the number of senators in the Senate, and 3 electoral votes for the District of Columbia. Option A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not take into account the total number of representatives and senators in the United States.
