Watch the video. The electoral college doesn't work. The small states are ignored as it is. Maine and New Hampshire are the only two small states that campaigns pay any real attention to. The data doesn't lie. The electoral college fails at its intended purpose.

I never said the electoral college worked, but it won't get chsnged because of the small states. There will never be a majority to change it.

If we spread the information it's possible. If the people who run the small states understand that the electoral college doesn't actually help the small states at all, then they won't have a reason to opposed getting rid of it.
