How do the electoral vote totals show the need for voters in less populated areas to organize in order to influence national politics?

Answer 1

Each State gets the same number of Electors as the total of its Senators and Congressional representatives. The minimum number is three. Accordingly, voters in thinly populated States have a disproportionate influence over Presidential elections.

Answer 2

The electoral vote totals illustrate the importance of organizing for voters in less populated areas because the number of electoral votes is not solely based on population. Each state is given a certain number of electoral votes, with even the least populous states having at least three. By organizing, voters in less populated areas can maximize their influence by ensuring their voices are heard and their concerns are addressed by political candidates seeking to secure these electoral votes. Without organization, these voters may be overshadowed by larger and more densely populated areas.
