The point is that it's an antiquated system that's only actually used by 21 states, and it was never about small states having a voice. These are facts.
Every state uses the Electoral College to decide the President, not just 21. All of them do. It's the Electoral College. I really don't get what point you're making. It's a winner take all system within each state deciding how to use those votes.

You're either missing the point entirely or just being obtuse. I don't know how else to put it. The vast majority of the rural area states electors have to vote in conjunction with the popular vote. Those states are republican states and therefore the EC is always going to follow the popular vote anyways. This leaves us with swing states that could go either way in any given election open to corruption. We've seen it. It's happened. It also essentially leaves the presidential election in the hands of few states. I don't know how I can be any clearer, there's tons of information on this if you'd like to look into it. It's exactly what happened in the 2000 election.
