Which is unfair and why Tramp does NOT represent the WILL OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!Each state’s set of electors consists of its two senators plus the number of representatives the state has in the House. California is the most populous state and Wyoming is the least. Because each elector in California represents 3.18 times as many people as each elector in Wyoming, the standard explanation tells us that Wyoming has 3.18 electoral votes to each one of California’s.California has 55
Texas has 38
New York has 29
Florida has 29
The seven least populous states -
Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming each have 3
So those seven combined have 21 - less than any single one of the top 4.
Describe the advantage that you see the smaller states having.
I get it.
I'm not the one that doesn't understand our system.
We vote by State
We don't have a national personal popular vote.
In 2012, Trump said “the Electoral College is a disaster for democracy,” and in his Nov. 13, 2016 interview with Leslie Stahl on 60 Minutes, he added, “I’m not going to change my mind [about the Electoral College] just because I won.”
