Wyoming gets 3 votes in the electoral college, California gets 55 - I am not sure what point you are making.

The net effect of the electoral college is that the president is effectively picked by the voters of a handful of swing states. Wyoming is not one of these swing states.

Removing the electoral college would lead to the president being picked by the voters of all states, which seems a lot better.
