The electoral college system was chosen by the framers of the Constitution so that voters in less populous states would have a voice. If every vote counted the same, the election would be controlled by the states with the largest populations, like California, Texas, and New York. Is that what you are advocating?
it's beyond naive to think everything in the Constitution is in it because the majority of the founding fathers thought it the best policy.
the EC and 2 senators per state are far more likely to be due to extortion by the smaller states, who leveraged their initial disproportionate voting stock position into 250 yrs of totally disproportionate power of smaller states, many many times the original disproportion.
not everything in the Constitution was the vision of the founding fathers.
some things were forced on them by the smaller states with disproportionate power at the time..
that said, back in the days the Constitution was written, different states had their own economies and media, and were days to weeks travel from or even communicate with one another.
today the whole country is one economy with a shared media, and NY communicating or doing business with Wyoming today, is like Boston doing business with Cambridge Mass, and someone communicating with someone across the room, back in the founder's day.
politics is all that separates the states today, whereas back in the day, they were different entities on a whole different level.
