"No, it was intended to keep the big states from controlling an election."

I disagree. The Senate, with two senators from each state regardless of population, was to ensure that each state had equal representation. The Electoral college awards electors to states based upon the combined number of senators and representatives. That is why California has 55 electors and Montana has 3.

“I disagree.”

Well, you need to contact constitutional expert Mark Levin and straighten him out, because I heard him say the exact same thing I posted about thirty minutes later,

Of course, he went into it much deeper.
