To calculate the number of electors in the Electoral College for a state, you add the number of Senators (always 2) to the number of Representatives in the House.

In this case, the state has:

  • 14 members of the House of Representatives
  • 2 Senators

So, the total number of electors would be:

14 (House members) + 2 (Senators) = 16 electors.

Therefore, the correct answer is 16.
