these are just generic statistics.
State X has 30 million people and has 15 electoral votes
State Y has 500,000 people and has 1 electoral vote.
State X overally affects the election more, but every voter in State Y is basically four times as valuable as every vote in State X.
Electoral votes aren't dolled out evenly for a set amount of people, Each state has a different number per vote, (depending on turnout) In the end the smaller the state, the more heavily weighted your vote is.
