The Electoral College must Die

Texas: 34 electoral votes and 23,904,380 citizens -> 703,070 citizens per electoral vote

Florida: 34 electoral votes and 18,251,243 -> 675,972 citizens per electoral vote

California: 55 electoral votes and 36,553,215 citizens -> 664,604 citizens per electoral vote

at the other end of the spectrum



Wyoming: 3 electoral votes and 522,830 citizens -> 174,277 citizens per electoral vote

District of Columbia: 3 electoral votes and 588,292 citizens -> 196,097 citizens per electoral vote

Vermont: 3 electoral votes and 621, 254 citizens -> 207, 085 citizens per electoral vote

Is this fair? I thought democracy was based on one person, one vote. But by this system a vote in Wyoming is worth roughly 4x that of a vote in Texas and roughly 3.8x that of a vote in California. I ask again – is this fair?

Why do we have the electoral college?
