I think the biggest advantage tiny states like Utah have is the 2 senators. Utah has just under 3 million people, where CA has just under 38 million, TX has 25 million and NY has 19 million. But, they ALL get 2 Senators!

It really seems undemocratic!

Small (that is, lower population) states get a disproportionate say in the EC and in the Senate because they get 2 Senators no matter what their population, the same as more heavily populated states.
The disproportionate say the states with lower populations have in the EC is a violation of the one-person, one-vote principal.
