KWThat gives all the power to a few very populated States, and puts the smaller
  States at a very distinct disadvantage. Would you like to see a President
  elected by California, New York, and Texas - with the rest of the Nation
  voting for the other guy?

KWThe smaller States would not have ratified the Constitution if we had not put
  in this "equalizer".

KWWe can distribute the votes more fairly, but I favor keeping the EC.


Please explain this to me, because you have got me confused. Of course
the bigger states will have more votes, but all in all, everyone will
vote, I wouldn't say one state elected the president. No state has as
many people as the next state.
