Why does Texas get the fewest Electoral College votes based on population out of all 50 states?

Texas is the only state in the country with fewer than 1 EC vote for every 700,000 residents.

Californians get 1 EC vote for every 680,000 residents, but Texans only get 1 EC vote per 730,000 residents, giving Californians an unequal 6% extra EC votes per capita.

Not to mention all the tiny liberal areas like Rhode Island and Delaware and Vermont get far votes than their population size.

Is it time to take away their EC votes and give them to Texas?

because House Congressional Districts are adjusted only once every 10 years, thus 2010 Census for the 2016 and 2020 electoral elections. A lot of population moves and immigration can take place in 10 years, so the influx of immigration in Texas dilutes its Electoral power. Build the wall and perhaps that would change.
