Not quite. Each state gets a number of electoral votes equal to the number of representatives and senators from that state. Thus, while it is to a large extent driven by population, since it includes 2 for each state regardless of population, it is not solely population based.
I will not engage in any discussion where any member calls any other member names, in this case "retarded".
Peace to all.
