i would remind all that the house based on population representation and two senators per state and the electoral votes based on the sum of these two are the only way a compromise was reached on the us constitution. without that compromise the constitution would not have happened. as long as there are states i see no way a constitutional amendment could be approved to have popular vote be the only vote. also i recall massachusetts was one of the "small" states that needed the compromise. i am rusty, but this may have been part of madison's virginia plan.
