But, assuming it does, with the way the EC is weighted there is skew, no matter how you do it and it is a greater skew than there could ever be with a national popular vote. For instance, you would need only a plurality of the vote to get 10.22% of the electoral votes with California. To get that much of the weight in a popular vote you would need to win 84%.

Of course there is "skew". It is skewed in a way that states with a larger population get more Electoral votes. It allows for the individual to have a voice in his or her state and allows that state to have a say in its Nation.

Look at this map and consider popular vote:



Do you think the popular vote would speak for the wants of a Nation?
