Smaller states already have a say: votes from smaller states count no more or less than the votes cast in larger states.

Wrong.  For example, California has a population of just under 40 million, but only has 55 electoral votes - or 727,00 per electoral vote.

In comparison, my state of New Hampshire, has a population of 1.3 million, and 4 electoral votes - or 325,000 per electoral vote. Therefore, a vote in New Hampshire carries more weight than a vote in California.

Even if the electoral college was based on population, it wouldn't make a big difference, as many states Trump won like Texas and Florida would also have more electoral college votes: http://www.270towin.com/news/2017/01/24/if-electoral-votes-were-weighted-by-state-population-alone-trump-303-clinton-235_442.html#.WJPtjvkrKUk



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
