No, it's about the same. If you pull non-citizens out of the calculation nationally, California loses between 3 and 4 seats in the House.

That's no more true than saying the House is supposed to be scaled to people and not citizens. Both are features of the design of the system. “Is supposed to be X” doesn't stop something from being a problem in terms of a goal other than X.
It's a pretty big chunk of EC votes - more than Wyoming gets in total!
The senate is meant to represent the states - not the people - so it's not really a fair comparison.
