Electoral votes are weighted by population. California and New York do have a much larger say in the electoral process. All the electoral college does in the modern world is assure that the majority of a given state will drown out the minority voice. I live in the south, and I am truly annoyed by the fact that Kerry will win 35-45% of my state's popular vote while he wins none of our electoral votes.
If and when states re-write their laws to mirror Maine and allow electoral votes to be divided by percentage within the state will the system be valid.
