Sure it does, in so far as it illustrates the geography needs to, and is, taken into account.

And since he's chosen by the electoral college, he really is a representative of all the states.  And because those states are represented, correctly IMO, roughly in proportion to how they are in Congress then who that state wants to cast for is a decision the should be entirely up to the people in that state.  It's the United States of America, not the United People.
