Statists preach about how popular vote is the defining characteristic of democracy, but it's not - protection of the minority is. To what extent the EC does that is arguable, especially since it's at the state level which is not granular enough to really protect minority interests, and it demands ignoring all but the most battlegroundy states. But popular vote is not better in those regards. A good hint that you're totally missing the point is if you think senators should also scale based on population. I don't think this is a key feature of democracy, or what these systems were originally intended to accomplish or even do (for example the Senate was supposed to allow States to express their interests, and to allow more "intellectual" discussion of popular legislature, neither of which it accomplishes well) and the Senate should be abolished, so yeah consider the point missed. --- I definitely did not forget to put the 2020 GOTD Guru winner, azuarc in my sig! ...
