If the minimum elector is 3 at the least (Washington DC and some small states), that 3 represents the elector for the winning party only. Does the losing party have their electors also but is not capable of electing the president since their candidate lose in the popular vote of that state? Should it be safe to say 6 electors each at the minimum?
The minimum number of presidential electors from any state is three. The minimum age to be a US President is 35.

Three. Every state has exactly 2 senators in the U.S. Senate, while the number of representatives in the U.S. House vary from state to state. A state by law, though must have at least one congressman. Since number of electors is based on total number of senators and congressmen of a state, 2 senators + 1 congressman= 3 total electors minimum.
Every state has a minimum of three electoral votes, because each state is allowed to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives representing the state in the U.S. Congress, and every state has two Senators and at least one Representative. Also, although the District of Columbia does not have Congressional representation (since it is not a state), the U.S. Constitution has been amended to allow them to appoint a number of electors equal to the total number of Senators and Representatives they would have in Congress if they were a state or the same number of electors as the state with the lowest population, whichever is less. There is currently one state with a smaller population than that of D.C.: Wyoming.

yes According to the 23rd Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the District of Columbia is allowed to appoint the number of electors to which it would be entitled if it were a state, but never more than the number of electors from the least populous state. Each of the seven least populous states has the minimum possible number of electors, three. And currently, the population of D.C. exceeds the population of Wyoming.
The number of electors is determined by the state's number of members in the House plus the number of members in the Senate.
The number of electors for each state is determined by the number of members of Congress (representatives plus the two senators) each state has. The District of Columbia has the same number of electors as the least populous state.
