What the f...
I don't even know how NY wasn't copied from my Excel chart, but thanks for your help!

Not that bad. It's a step in the right direction...

I don't think it's right, but are the states in green the states that get more EV than what their population would provide, while the states in red get less than what they should?

And why is one state's name in bold type?

Washington should get two more?

lolno. Lok1999 did a step in the very right direction. Just one detail is still missing.

It's a list of states based on how over/underrepresented they are in the EC, and I'm guessing Washington is the closest to being perfectly represented?

Bingo! That’s the one I’ve been looking for. 👍🏻

Washington's electoral vote share almost perfectly matches its share of the U.S. population.

7,170,351 / 321,418,820 = 2.23084 %
                        12 / 538 = 2.23048 %

I was kinda surprised when I learned that Rhode Island is even more overrepresented than Wyoming already is. I hope RI is gonna lose its superfluous elector in the next century.
