[W]hether the losing candidate's popular vote victory is large or small, the fact that a win in the Electoral College is all that finally matters is not unfair. It's not unfair that little Rhode Island gets just as many senators as does big California. It's not unfair that 34-year-olds can't become president or that a simple majority in the Congress is insufficient to approve a treaty, convict an impeached president, or amend the Constitution. Nor is it unfair that the winner of the World Series is the team that wins four games, not necessarily the one that had the most hits. These are the rules of the game and in the case of the Electoral College, the rules were originally written for some very good reasons.
