45. Californians are extremely underrepresented in the electoral college and congress

people from small rural states are overrepresented because they get to have the minimum number of senators and congressman.

The 582,000 people in Wyoming and the 38,300,000 people in California still get 2 US Senators.

California is also has larger impact from infrastructure spending and other policies: farming, energy, trade, technology, military facilities, etc. due to the size and diversity of their economy. Smaller states are also impacted but their economies are less diversified and they have fewer people to place in employment positions and use of their services.

California is also the most urban state, with the most people in the most urban areas. Urban people are more impacted by many large infrastructure projects whether it is water, power, roads, pipelines, climate change mitigation, etc.
