A single voter in Utah should not have so much more power than a single person in California; it is disciminatory and it must go.
But that's the exact reason why the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College in the first place, as a compromise for the small states. They didn't want a election decided by popular vote because they didn't want the big states to decide all federal elections without the small states having any say. If CA, TX, FL, IL, MI, PA, and OH decide all the elections, why should someone in Utah or Wyoming bother to vote? A single voter in California should not have so much more power than a single person in Utah either.
