Small states like Delaware have only have 3 electoral votes, which the lowest amount along with a few other states i.e., Wyoming, DC, North Dakota and Vermont. Other states such as California have 55 electoral votes and Texas with 34. If we used the popular vote all states would have the same voice.
The popular vote would lend to more democratic principles. The popular vote total should do the following: 1. Allocate only 1 vote per person 2. Include the will of all who participate in the delegate selection contest for the Democratic National Convention 3. In those cases were participants did not have their votes recorded, do everything possible to estimate their preferences.
