Well, the EC creates inequality now. If my vote decides where say Nevada’s 4 EC votes go to but my neighbor who lives across the street in California where his vote decides where CA’s 55 EC votes go. Who has more influence on the Presidential election? Because of the EC it makes a mockery of the “one man, one vote” mantra.

Now if the nation followed Maine and Nebraska where they apportion their EC votes by CDs and the overall popular vote of the state would win the Senate votes then we can talk about a fairer EC. I think it would force candidates to visit smaller states as well.

“one man,one vote’ was never the Constitutional mandate.

the compromises were made to ensure that the populous states couldn’t simply dictate to the others. “one man,one vote” is simple mob rule.
