The issue I have with the EC is the way the votes are distributed. We all know the the EC basically goes by census numbers. The census counts every person. Persons counted in the census include citizens, legal immigrants, non-citizen long-term visitors and illegal (or undocumented) immigrants. Not counting illegal aliens costs cities and states federal money, resulting in a reduction of services to all residents.
According to ruff numbers from the election results, around 8.5 million people voted in California. New York had roughly 7.9 million voters. But California gets 55 EV vs New York only 29 EV. So a vote in California is worth more than a vote in New York.
I know HRC won both states, but how many other states reflect higher voter turn out with less EV.

there are valid concerns like that. but we don't have 1 party rule...and that's the point of the EC.
so far so good. definitely things we can do to further safeguard against 3 cities ruling everyone else.

It is a interesting dynamic. I forgot that you received as many EC votes as you had representatives + senators. People bitch about a the votes mattering more and what not, but if you took the population of all 50 states plus DC, and tried to split 538 EVs as equally as possible, Trump would have still won 302-234 (because of rounding, the EVs only add up to 536). If you allow partial votes, Trump wins 305.8 - 231.8.
People moan and groan about California only having 55 EVs, but no one says anything about Vermont and DC getting 3 or Rhode Island getting 4.
