This has bothered me for quite a while now.

From 1912-1940, Illinois had 29 electoral votes. And everyone knows # of Senators (always 2) plus # of Representatives equals the total electoral votes of that state. But never in the history of Illinois has it had more than 26 congressional districts, and 26 was the number of Representatives it had at the time. Meaning that there was an extra electoral vote given to it... Am I missing something?

Yeah, I saw that as a very good possibility, but I've never been quite sure.
