The number of electors each state has is determined by adding the total number of Senators and Representatives that state has in Congress.

Therefore, the Electoral College members are determined by adding both Senate and House members.

The process involves speeches, debates, and voting until a candidate receives the majority of delegate votes. Therefore, the correct answer is "at nominating conventions."
