Yes they do, because every state has 2 senators and a minimum of 1 congressmember(each gives one seat in the electoral college), no matter how low the population in the state is. that gives the most power to a vote in the state with the lowest population.

So that must be why California a low poutlion state has 55 electoral votes compared to Alaska, a high popultion state with 3 electoral votes

the vote in alaska is twice as powerfull as the vote in CA.  why? because alaska has such a small population that they just would get 1 1/2 Electors, but the minmum is 3 Electors per state, so the  vote from Alaska is twice as powerfull than the one from CA.
