   It has less people than California, however every Alaskan voter has   
   three times the say as their Californian counterparts.   
      
   I do not know where you live, but take California for an example. Were   
   citizens of San Diego to have their votes count as three times the   
   vote of citizens of Fresno when voting for Governor, there would be   
   fighting in the streets.   
      
   The same situation occurs though in voting for President under the   
   Electoral College.   
      
   Besides that, if the Electoral College was any good, how come they   
   have never had a football team?
