It does anyway. NY gets 20 electoral votes. Wyoming gets 3. NY gets roughly 7 votes to Wyoming's 1 vote. Meanwhile, NY state has a population of roughly 20 million, with NYC accounting for close to half of that. That means that NYC alone accounts for roughly half of NY state's electoral votes, which would equal 3.5--more than the entire state of Wyoming.
Electoral votes are proportional, and each state's votes are dominated by the urban areas. So how exactly does the electoral college help Wyoming?
I am not referring to the number of electoral votes of the 2 states, or the ratio of votes per state. At the moment, Wyoming does of electoral votes, be they only 3, but take away the EC and they have nothing.
It's difficult for me to express what I am trying to say with the written word.
WY has about .5M people, out of a country of 300m or so. In a popular election they control 1 vote in 600 for president, or about .16%.
WY has 3 votes in the EC out of 535 or about .56%.
WY has little clout in the EC, but each WY voter has about 3.5x the clout he would in a popular election. The clout of the inhabitants of the bigger states is reduced accordingly.
