    EC gives more weight to lower population states, because the number of electors is the number of Representatives plus the number of Senators.

      How would that make a difference?

      Since it is equal between states the starting baseline of 2 votes seems negligible when compared to the much more substantial number of votes determined by the house of representatives. That would still give a much higher weight to the most populous states.

        Well, also EC is winner take all except in NE and ME. That’s probably a bigger impact.
