So, Ming, why is an inhabitant of Wyoming deserving of a bigger vote than you have? You need to do something about you level of self-esteem.

Try this example. If in Wyoming the vote is tied and the last voter casts his vote for Bush... Bush gets 3 crummy electorial votes.
Now in California, if the vote is tied, and the last voter casts his vote for Gore... Gore gets 60 electorial votes.
So I ask you... which state has the more important voter
My point being, the Wyoming voter is the one getting screwed under this system. No matter who he votes for, the best he can hope to contribute to the overall election is 3 crummy electoral votes. While a California vote can provide 60.
Now you can go ahead and change your question to "why should a California voter be worth more than a voter from Wyoming"
