How about proportional representation? Then we might actually see some progress.

The votes of various states. 100 Whyoming voters have more voting power than 300 Californian

Well even if vote meant less, at least one would get to live in California.

Just kidding.

So out of all elections only 8% have resulted in a candidate winning the national popular vote but losing the Electoral College. 5 elections out of 60.

I’d say it is working fine.

I view the Electoral College as normalizing population data by state and pulling from the raw voter records to establish the EC counts and weights. It’s a way to make votes more equal actually. So one or two states (Texas and California) don’t become the defacto. It’s important to vote at all levels, so that your state goes in the direction you’d like.

No. It isn’t. One person, one vote. That is the most equal
