Are you really arguing that the difference culturally between states is similar to the cultural differences between South American countries . You are really reaching . Of course there ' s differences between states , there ' s differences between counties , and between cities . Between neighborhoods , between households . And its batshit crazy that mine and my brothers household have the same representation as one single person in Wisconsin . You are trying to balance ? No this system is the same one introduced from the start for that purpose and it has grossly failed at that , did you even click the link I posted ? It directly responds to how it has failed at this original intention . On top of this the system is gradually getting worse as this ratio of rural to city population gets smaller and smaller . This is not the ratio at which this system was created , yet we cling to it desperately without reason . Do you realize that it is mathematically possible to win the presidential election right now with less than 22 % of the countries vote . Add on top that we have only 60 % of people voting , you could literally have almost 10 % of the entire country wanting you president and win it . That is not what the creators of the EC intended or wanted . This number is only going to get worse , and it will 100 % eventually lead to unrest and secession as Californians votes matter less and less every election . Do we fix it now , or put it off and piss off these disenfranchised voters for some more years until it explodes . You are on the wrong side of history , the same side that supported african americans having 35 th representation , and now Californians , having 18 th the vote . This is not sustainable , it will be changed one day .
