And in any case the Electoral College's prime function- Representation, is self-evident every time a bitter leftist advocates its abolition.
In 1776, the likes of Conneticut and New Jersey rightly questioned what say they would have should they join a union where half the population lives, not just in a couple of states, but in only 2 or 3 conurbations. Ensuring representation on a state level gives small, otherwise irrelevant states a say. It has nothing to do with race, in fact that poster loves race when its black women vote blocing to flip senate seats. What these activists want is for presidential candidates to do all their campaigning in NYC, California, and Atlanta. Totally ignore thousands upon thousands of miles of land and people, and win by popular vote. The electoral college provides at least a mechanism for smaller states to get noticed.
Seething city-dwellers is worth the cost of ensuring recognition for the varying states. Most of the time the likes of Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa make themselves irrelevant anyway, but they do that by themselves through loyalty to Republicans. Plus, the voters in, say, Nebraska have to actually live in Nebraska. Consider it consolation.
