They are heavily weighted based on population, although I disagree with your opinion that they shouldn't be.
And why should they be weighted?
The fact that most low population states are basically GOP safe havens, and their votes are worth more than other states pretty puts Republicans at an automatic advantage in national elections
That is not fair democratic process for one party to have an automatic advantage over the other solely by capitalizing on the faults of the system used in the elections
This is a single-minded approach to fairness and it is not actually the pragmatic approach that was pursued when federalism was enacted into the supreme law. Which needed to be done to get most of New England to support the Constitution.
