No. Wy with a population of 550000 gets 3 EC votes which is the minimum any state should get. But ND with a population of 750,000 also gets 3 EC votes. So they are allocated on a range. So it doesn't matter you win ND with about 200,000 more votes you still get only 3EC votes. Wait it gets much worse, CA gets only 55 EC votes despite having a population of 35Million.

The senate has 2 seats no matter the population of the state. Fine,, senate was designed so the small state gets a voice at the table. But then why should a DIRECT ELECTING presidential election also skew the vote to the small WY over CA? A CA vote is literally worthless compared to a WY vote. CA is the largest state in the union but is the most disenfranchised in the union. [/quote]

The last time CA went red was in 1988, right?  And it was a red state for many years prior to.

It's now blue b/c of the changing demographics.  I said to my husband the morning of the election that they should just call CA.  Maryland's the same way now, although it did go R for Reagan, Bush and Nixon, I believe.  So it's a bit more "flexible."

The EC is a very odd way of determining a winner.  I've always been against it, but who am I anyway?
