Why should a Wyoming matter more than a voter in New York, or Louisiana or Texas.
They quite literally don't. I don't know why you're having trouble with this. It merely gives them more equal representation. WY has 3 EC votes, NY has 29.

Wyoming has less than a million people living there.
New your has over 19 million people.
Each vote represents 673,869 people roughly
wyoming has 577,737 people living there.
Every electoral vote for New York represents more people than live in the entire state of Wyoming.
And then Wyoming gets 2 more votes.
How is that equal representation? They’re getting over 3xs the representations. That’s basic math.
This same arguement was had when our forefathers were deciding on how the legislature would be decided, and they just went with the bicameral house.
The EC splits the baby, but why? And should it?
Some other extreme exacmoles
Montana has almost double Wyoming’s populations and the same # of votes.
