I hear ya and know that argument well. As it stands now, the small states don’t matter anyway. There are 3-4 states that matter and that’s it and they sure ain’t small. And a couple of those states are tending blue and will be blue enough to hand it to the Dims every single time.
We can get a popular vote with the right President. But we can not with the EV UNLESS (and it’s a big one in a presidential year) the Dims stay home.
I hear ya. I just think the EC is a better compromise. What I really want to see is all the Dem states split their votes proportionally, and the Pub states keep winner-take-all :-)
