Their remedy of direct popular vote reduces the deciding factor to just three or four high population states.
No it doesn’t. It makes a vote in New York count exactly the same as one in Montana.
Yes, each person's vote has the same weight, but obviously, the weight of a state's vote is proportional to its population.
That's not a problem for me and is as it should be since it's truly democratic: one person, one vote. How the U.S. is divvied up into states - or even if there were no states at all - should make no difference to the implementation of Democracy. The Electoral College is a relic that has to go.
