OK I'll ask you ... considering a few populous sates control so many EC votes how do they not have a much larger say, essentially control unless the smaller ones band together... ? States rights not in federal elections up here provincially (states) but on many levels.. we are a bunch of separate countries up here...

What country are you from? "The American system is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. A democracy, if you attach meaning to terms, is a system of unlimited majority rule . . . a form of collectivism, which denies individual rights . . . . The American system is a constitutionally limited republic, restricted to the protection of individual rights. In such a system, majority rule is applicable only to lesser details, such as the selection of certain personnel. But the majority has no say over the basic principles governing the government. It has no power to ask for or gain the infringement of individual rights." AR
