Each state has a number of electors to the EC equal to their number of representatives plus their number of senators.

Since every state gets the +2, it's meaningless. That leaves proportionality, which means big states' power is tied to their population. So it's no difference at all. Big states dominate, and the cities dominate within the states.

But how do you assess the Algore administration's performance after their victory in the 2000 presidential race?
