Populist Reform Starts With One Person, One Vote.

[Martin Eden]

4. Alaska and Delaware both have 3 EC votes

I see many problems with the EC:

Disproportionate representaion based on number of senators & reps. Reps are roughly proportionate, but every state regardless of population has 2 senators. Small states have more EC votes per person than states with large populations. Voter turnout can make that ratio even more disproportionate.

Winner take all is not in the Constitution, but nearly every state employs it. All the EC votes go to the candidate with the most votes, whether it's a landslide or the narrowest of margins. Only a relative handful of states are really up for grabs, which means the solidly red or blue states are mostly ignored and citizens there have less incentive to vote because they already know who will win their state.

"Members" of the Electoral College are not bound by law to cast their vote according to the popular vote in their state. This rarely if ever happens, but the entire EC system is IMO an anachronism created for an era when actual electors would have to travel by horse or carriage to cast votes in multiple rounds when no candidate received a majority of EC votes initially.

The candidate with the most actual votes cast by citizens can lose, and that's just plain wrong in my opinion.
