The problem with the Electoral college is that states like California have too much power. Electoral votes should be capped at no more than 20 per state.

California is a bigger state and has more people than a place like Virginia, so all of those people in California should just be overruled because Virginia says so? Pennsylvania has more power than either of those states because it's just the right population, should either of those states have less of a say in what happens? Majority rules is at least fair.

Alaska is three times the size of California yet California gets 18 times the votes. Sorry that you don’t think the jams and environment is important. Encouraging states to grow population is bizarre.

Maybe if you had bothered to read at all you'd know that I don't care how big the state is geographically, California probably has 18 times the population of Alaska and therefore should have more say.
