Thanks for your response. There are conservative states with large populations, Texas comes to mind although they are more likely to vote Democrat one day than New York or California to vote Republican. The system that gives a Wyoming or Alaska voter more strength than Californians strikes me as odd. Even if the original design weren’t to protect slaveholding states (a notion I dispute). The end result today is to prop up an increasingly smaller white population and allow them to wield power without capturing a majority of the vote.

You may dispute my equating conservative states with white states yet they are pretty much one and the same. I have a whole series equating “American Exceptionalism” with “White Exceptionalism” which might interest you. The consistent attempt to suppress minority votes (along with youth votes) in “Conservative-controlled” states suggests no other explanation. The Electoral College may well be brilliant because it’s certainly effective in accomplishing its goal.
