Noone is disenfranchised. By choosing to elect an executive nationally it only makes sense to popularise the vote. Why should Wyoming citizens have more sway than California (per capita)
Democrats in Texas might as well not even vote under the current winner take all system. If the electoral points were awarded proportionally then Clinton would have won against Trump.
That’s only happening because the size of the HoR was set at 435 in 1929. Fix that and suddenly Wyoming’s 3 EC votes would be a drop in the bucket…even per Capita.
