    That would be true if electoral votes were proportional to states’ populations. As it is now, your vote counts (I think) six times more if you live in Wyoming vs if you live in California.

      I didn’t say it was a good filter. Just pointed out that the people sent to the electoral college do not have any agency to select the president.
