The correct response is:
**The number of representatives in Congress**
Electoral votes are allocated based on the total number of Senators (always 2 per state) and the number of Representatives, which is determined by the population of the state. Thus, while population does influence the number of representatives, it's the number of representatives in Congress that directly determines the electoral vote count.
