Oh , well in that case your vote literally doesn ' t matter as the President is decided by delegates chosen by your state legislature long before the election occurred . So far they ' ve been content to vote on strict party lines depending on that stupid First Past The Post system , but they ' re not actually held to that standard as far as the Constitution is concerned . Some states might have laws on the books regarding how their votes get allocated , but as far as I ' m aware , those laws haven ' t been challenged , so we don ' t really know if they ' re constitutional . Otherwise , I fail to see how I don ' t make sense . Your state receives a number of votes depending on its representation in Congress , which is split between Senators and Representatives . Since every state , regardless of size , gets two votes by virtue of being represented in the Senate , it hardly makes sense to include those when discussing state population differences , as those votes would be there no matter how large or small that difference is . That shit throws off the math in a major way . If you insist that California , and a few other larger states , are kind of getting shafted , I can somewhat agree with that . There ' s a proposed law that I saw floating about nicknamed the Wyoming Rule that would set the smallest state as the standard for determining the number of Representatives a state receives in the House . That rule would give California about 10 more reps and therefore , about 10 more votes than it currently has , with other high population states getting a few more here and there . In any case , whining that Wyoming voters are somehow worth more when nobody in any party actually cares about Wyoming is really stupid .
