Georgia 95%
Hawaii 158%
Idaho 144%

Kansas 116%
Kentucky 104%
Louisiana 105%

Example: a vote in Wyoming is worth 3.3x that of one in Texas ... reducing Texas’ overwhelming 45-to-1 voter advantage over Wyoming to 14-to-1.

(I computed this a few years back. Exact numbers may have shifted a bit.)

I dont know how you computer those numbers, but I think they are misleading.

You can vote all you want in Wyoming, but wyoning will never have the 55 electoral votes California has.

So, half +1 of california population has about a 25% say in what happens in our government.
