    That would make the electoral college vote closer to proportional, but wouldn’t solve the fundamental problem that small states will always have a disproportionate impact on the outcome as long as we use the electoral college system that is based on the sum of senate + house.

    We should fix it as you note for the House to be truly representational of the population though.
