However, the electoral college also stipulates that every state gets 3 votes to start with. That meant that states with very low populations (i.e. Wyoming with its 576,412 people) have a more votes than they should have. Consequently, larger states have less votes than they should have. California has 55 electoral college votes. With its population of 38,041,430, it should actually have 65.

Absolutely right, Divi Tiberio. The whole principal of one man - one vote is stood on its head by that discrepancy. And, for that matter, by arbitrarily giving each state two senators no matter what the population.

This is another thing that the Founding Fathers did not foresee... along with the end of slavery, women voting, political parties and assault weapons. In retrospect, the FF did not do such a great job.
