- allears 4y agoDoesn't work that way. Wyoming has as much power in the Senate as California, even though it's got a lot fewer people. So, effectively, a single Wyoming voter has a lot more power than a single California voter. In a true democracy, one person's vote would count just as much as another's. That's not the way it works now.
- AftHurrahWinch 4y ago> People in California should not have disproportionate control over people in Wyoming due to their population. California: * 1 elector per 721,166 people. * 1 senator per 19,832,064 people. Wyoming: * 1 elector per 194,078 people. * 1 senator per 291,116 people. I think you meant people in Wyoming have disproportionate control over people in California. https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/electoral-votes-by-state https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/electoral-v...

- bediger4000 4y agoTo give rural, conservative voters more voting power. It's pretty much that simple, and it's been that way since the constitution was ratified.
