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.

WY has three because it's the minimum amount of EC you can possibly have. If you think that means that WY has more power than NY then I don't know what to tell you.

Do you think WY should only have one Senator in addition to their 1 representative?

So what. What a retarded argument. There is nothing stopping leftist Marxists from moving to Wyoming and make their vote count more in the EC.

The Constitution would have never been ratified without the EC. Do away with the EC, you do away with the republic.
