re: #261 The Vicious Babushka

It means that candidates will go where the votes are - high population states. So places like Iowa, Delaware, NH have much less value in the general election.

But battleground states will remain as such - FL, IN, IL, PA, OH, MI, VA, CO, etc. because they have value as higher population states.

How does this work out? Consider Wyoming. It has 3 EC votes. With its population, you’re talking about 1 EV for every ~180,000 residents.

California? It’s got over 37 million people and 55 EC votes. That translates to 1 EC vote for every 672,000+ residents. NY has a similar ratio. That gives the Wyoming residents more than 3x as much clout in the EC as California.
