the thing is, electing a president isnt about each states opinion (or it shouldnt be).
When it comes to FEDERAL elections, it should be a FEDERAL vote. in other words, EVERY citizen as one group. Every citizen with equal voice. and the electoral college does not save montanto from not having a voice. they get less electoral votes. But thats not the point. Its not a hout a states voice when it comes to pres. election. its about individual voice.

this is why we use the electoral college, to make sure that the majority are represented. to give each individual a vote toward election directly would ensure only that the states with the most people are represented while those with less population are not. the needs of those in california and new york are vastly different than the needs of those in nebraska and alaska. to go one for one would not ensure proper representation for all states. it is about a state's voice in election, that is the whole point. states take care of their people, the president takes care of the states that is how it was meant to be and that is how it should be.
edit: keep in mind that bush won 30 out of 50 states. that means that the majority of the population in the majority of states wanted bush.
