An elector in Wyoming represents around 150,000 voters, whereas a California elector represents the votes of some 500,000 residents. That makes their votes over 3 times more powerful.. lol
Michigan upper peninsula looks out of scale with the lower, but not relative to how low the population is. And looks like Wisconsin is trying to steal it

Fun fact: The population of the entire state of Wyoming is about the same as that of the 100th largest city in the US
Wyoming: 576,851
Scranton, PA metro area: 567,559

Any yet those assholes get the same number of senators as California. Wildly out-of-balance system.
