The Electorical College puts all the States on an almost equal footing, the 
small population states are still worth courting. Without it the smaller 
States are just not needed by the politicians.
I'd think 5 or 6 times before I'd redo what those wise men did 200+ years 
ago.... no way would today's politicians (or public) allow the government 
to be restricted like the Constitution does.
