And IMHO at a time when not everyone could vote and those could vote could not vote easily (time/travel) the EC made much more sense.

If we made voting even easier (national holiday. longer hours, more voting sites) we may see an even larger percentage of citizens vote.

I agree with you that that every vote should count the same.  Whether they are a Republican trapped in NYC or a Democrat trapped in Kansas.  One person, one vote.  Winner take all.
