Abstract
We consider the the effect of the electron cloud about a vorton in the CFL- high-density phase by numerically solving the ultrarelativistic Thomas-Fermi equation about a toroidal charge. Including electrons removes the electric monopole contribution to the energy, and noticeably decreases the equilibrium radius of these stable vortex loops.
