• The smaller population states tend to agree with the Electoral College's candidate for president.
• The smaller population states don't have the financial support for running popular vote elections.
• The smaller population states are happier to let a small group of people choose the president.
• The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.
• The smaller population states have more power by using the Electoral College than they would otherwise.
The Electoral College gives smaller population states a disproportionate amount of power in choosing the president, as each state is guaranteed a minimum of three electoral votes regardless of its population size. This means that voters in smaller states have a greater impact on the outcome of the election compared to voters in larger states, which can lead to greater support for the Electoral College system in smaller population states.
