Every vote should count equally—that's basic democratic principle. Right now, a vote in Wyoming is worth roughly 3.6 times more than a vote in California because of how electoral votes are allocated. This means candidates ignore entire regions and only campaign in swing states, while millions of Americans in safe states feel irrelevant. If we switched to popular vote, every single vote would matter equally regardless of where you live, and politicians would actually have to appeal to all Americans, not just Ohio.
