    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

      One vote in wyoming weighs more than one vote in California

      So you’re saying that a single voter in Wyoming voting for Candidate A means more than a single voter in California voting for Candidate A?

      In order for any of Wyoming votes to even matter, the two candidates would have to be at 268-267 and need Wyoming to be the tie breaker. It would have to come down as a perfect swing state.

      California’s 53 EV always matters. Harris had to win California to even have a chance at winning.

      Neither candidate had to win Wyoming to win

      Odds that California comes down to a 20m vs 20m tie or Wyoming coming down to a 250k vs 250k tie are basically the same.

      Even if Wyoming was tied like that and 1 voter could make a difference. It would still have to be 268-267 EVs to even matter
