A citizen of Wyoming, which has a sparse population, has a vote worth roughly three times more than a citizen of Illinois (Doc. C). The addition of senators and the differentiation of the population within the bracket for electors throws off the ratio of people to electors. Another predicament with the electoral college is that it can discourage voters by making them feel like their votes do not matter. A democrat in Alabama may feel like their vote is worthless because, quite frankly, it is. Unless there is a severe political shakeup, Alabama probably is not going to vote blue anytime
