Wrong, the number of Electors per state is not reflective of the population of each state.

Which makes the small states obscenely over represented in the Electiral College, you ignoramus.

The numbers of Electors in each state is not directly representative of the population you fucking ignoramus.

Thanks to how the Electoral College is structured, California has much less power in electing the next president than voters in less populous states.

For instance, Wyoming has three members of the Electoral College and about 590,000 residents. California has more than 39 million residents and 55 electors. This means if you vote in California on Election Day, you have approximately 3.5 times less power to elect electors than you would if you voted in Wyoming.

The Electoral College gives more voting power to citizens of smaller, typically less diverse, states.

Wyoming gets one Electoral College vote for every 196,000 residents. California gets one Electoral College vote for every 709,000 residents. How the fuck is this proportional representation by population? How is this fair to the residents of the State of California.

The small states are way over represented.
