California has a population (2003 estimate) of 35,484,453, and 55
electoral votes. That comes to 1.5x10-6 electoral-votes/person.

Wyoming has a population of 439,479 (2002 estimate) and 3 electoral
votes. That comes to 6.8x10-6 electoral-votes/person.

A voter in Wyoming has 4.5 times the voting power of a voter in
California in a Presidential election. That's wrong in my book.

If Kerry had carried Ohio, and it was close, the Republicans would be
screaming for reform of the electoral system.

In the original Constitution, slaves were counted as 3/5 of a person in
national elections. That was a compromise to get the Southern states to
ratify. That was wrong, and it was later corrected. The Constitution is
a living document.
