As for me, I am tired of the bigger states having a bigger say when it comes to presidential elections.

That does not make any sense whatsoever and demonstrates a complete ignorance of the Electoral College. The Electoral College is what protects the smaller states from the bigger states. The bigger states would have a much larger say in what happens over the little states without the Electoral College.

If you don't know anything about a subject, it is best not to form such strong opinions when you are not grounded in the facts.

States don’t vote. Americans vote. Change the system by eliminating the electoral college and watch the percentage of American voters increase. If more Americans vote for the Democrat, then the Democrat will be President. If more Americans vote for the Republican, then the Republican will be President. Either way, the power will rest with the voting citizens, not an electoral system.

I was referring to the total number of delegates per state, not the ratio by which those delegates are derived. The fact of the matter is, States don’t vote, People do. If we are truly one nation under God, then there should be one fair system for electing our national leader. The differing ratios in each state is proof that the electoral college system is not fair. If we elected our president based upon the popular vote, then “We the People” will have truly elected our president. Your one vote would honestly matter. With the elimination of the electoral college would have to come the implementation of stronger voting restrictions to prevent voter fraud. Proof of citizenship and residency should be required for all voters to receive a voter registration card. That card along with proof if identity should be required at all voting booths. (This should already be happening) A national electronic registration tracking system should be utilized to prevent redundant voting by any citizen. Once the possibility of fraud has been virtually eliminated and the electoral college has been dissolved, Americans will be able to honestly and fairly elect their president.
