    Well no, you miss my point. You need to look at the election just like any other State election. Harris won the election to be President in California, for instance, and Trump won the election to be President in Wyoming, by the normal rules every other election uses.

    Its in the combination where people get shafted. Californians cast more than 15 million votes to determine 54 EC votes, or something like 278k votes per EC vote. But Wyoming only cast 262k votes total. Divided by their 3 EC votes it only took 88k votes to “count” for one EC vote.

    So the votes count equally in each state, but when they are combined in the EC a Wyoming vote has over 3x more “power” than a California vote.
