Why do the votes of Wyoming weigh 3 times what mine weigh?More skewed? Do any of you idiot leftists who rail against the "unfair" electoral college even realize it is skewed IN YOUR FUCKING FAVOR? The problem is the MASSIVE population disparity between states like CA and NEW YORK (Blue states) with states like Wyoming and Montana. The solution is to chop CA up into TWO states.Just know that the EC is more skewed today than in the days of George Washington.
Want to see how skewed it is? Here is the EC weighting of the states:

The EC is tilted in your favor and stupid idiot democrats BITCH because two times, it just happened to work out against them. The only thing that could be worse than the EC is no EC at all, then the country would look like this:

So the choice for republicans and conservatives is a LONG SHOT with an overwhelmingly popular candidate like Trump or NO CHANCE AT ALL. And democrats bitch. Not because the EC is unfair, but because it gives the GOP any chance at all. Fuck off.
Voting weight across states
To find the relative weight of a vote in each state, I divided each state’s electoral votes by the total number of ballots cast, and then divided again by the fraction of an electoral college vote accorded the average American voter. Battleground states are listed in bold italics.
