How big of a vote gap would it take for you to drop the Electoral College?

There also seems to be a flaw in arguing that a system that values all voters equally would be more discriminatory than a system that values some voters more than other. "In order for less people in smaller states to matter, we should ignore more people in bigger states" is the crux of it. 

The whole point was to give people in rural areas the same voice as people in highly populated areas.  What about that is so hard to understand?  Ancient Greece died via the City State, are we to do the same?
