Even within this system that you're praising for making states matter, Florida had 500k more voters than Texas but 7 less electoral votes. North Carolina also had more voters than Georgia but less electoral votes.

Which any and every State is allowed to do if they so desire. Key words being if they so desire. There's two States that split their EC votes and one of them didn't even change to that until 1992. So if you want yours to stop winner-take-all, try to make a change in your State.


What does turnout have to do with anything? It's not like we call Trump a more legitimate President because the voter turnout in 2016 was higher than both of Clinton's and the first W Bush's elections. The State has their say regardless of their voter turnout, the turnout is merely to guide what that State says. If you don't vote, you're cosigning whomever wins in your State because you didn't care enough to go out and vote otherwise.
