Not one of you challenged my posted numbers, so I assume you think they are right. Will any of you tell me why it's fair for one California electoral vote to represent 678,945 people and one Wyoming electoral vote represents 189,433 people? Why should I not feel that is just another type of gerrymandering?

You still don't understand the method of distribution.  Two electors of each state represent the body of the state, not the population, just as two senators represent the body of the state. Therefore, using the 2010 census, California's population of  37,254,503 have 53 electors representing 702,915 each. While Wyoming's population of 563,767 have one elector representing 563,767.  No gerrymandering, the same compromise between populous states and less populous states that make up both houses of Congress.
