Each state receives an amount of electoral college voters equal to how many congressional representatives it has. So the Wyoming Rule means states with a disproportionate population/elector ratio would no longer exist - all states would have a roughly equal ratio.



Each state still gets two electoral votes for its Senators, so small states still have an advantage with the Wyoming Rule, but less of one than they have now.


You 3 are splitting hairs. Yes, it's not perfect, but would be better than the current situation.
