      TLDR:

      Only 2 states to simplify things

      Wyoming 3 EV

      California 53 EV

      56 EV total, 29 EV need to win

      Wyoming still has more EV per capita

      California wants Candidate B

      Wyoming wants Candidate A

      Who decides the election? (California)

      If what you’re saying is that the smaller population with more EV per capita has more pull in an election, then Wyoming would actually have a shot at making Candidate A win by themselves.

      California has 53/538 EV.

      California controls 10% of the total EVs

      Wyoming controls .06%

      TLDR again:

      As a voter, being able to effect 10% of the total EVs is more powerful than being able to effect .06%.

        You’re missing the point. The viewpoint in the argument is from a single voter. One vote in wyoming weighs more than one vote in California
