The electoral college significantly OVERVALUES less populous states. In a direct popular vote, Rhode Island's 1 million people represent ~ 1/300 votes. In our electoral college system Rhode Island has ~ 3/500 votes.

In a direct popular vote, why spend any time on the needs of Rhode Islanders at all?
