It allows lower populated areas to not bexome a minority and a bit more power over their future. I can understand the reason behind it to some degree.
Except that “areas” don’t vote.
People do.
And the electoral college does nothing but penalize those who live in certain areas while rewarding others who live in different areas with wildly variable power behind their votes.
There’s no reason an American living in Wyoming should be able to vote 7 times, but if they move to California they only get one vote…yet that is the system were currently living with…except that instead of describing it as discrete votes, the one single vote is just weighed 7x more, so that the system can deceive people into thinking it’s fair and reasonable.
