- Montana population: 1.069 million (2019). The state of Montana has 3 electoral votes.
- Ohio population: 11.69 million (2019). The state of Ohio has 18 electoral votes.
The state of Ohio has 10.9 times the population of Montana. Thus, according to the Electoral College, my vote is worth far less than a resident of Montana. The EC is a stupid idea created for a different time when the cast majority of the population had no information on, or access to, their leaders.
The POTUS is the representative for the entire nation and should be elected by popular vote. If you are worried about smaller states being marginalized, I call BS! That is what your state reps are for! They each have equal votes in the Senate and the house even though they represent different sized populations.
