alright! lets break it down super simply: how much is each vote worth? each state gets electoral votes based on how many people it has in congress. that means: every state has 2 senators (just like everyone gets 2 cookies). then, they get extra votes based on how many people live there (called representatives). big states get more, small states get fewer. for example: a big state like california gets 55 votes. a small state like wyoming only gets 3 votes. so, bigger states have more votes because they have more people, but small states still get a little extra boost from their 2 senators. however, keep in mind every states gets 2 extra votes!
