Exactly my point. The larger the population the larger the number of votes they get. So much so that if every one of the 4 million residents total of several the states voted for A, he still wouldn't win because of the 5 million in CA that decided to vote, 3 million of them voted for B and 2 for A. In other words A actually got 4 million popular votes between several states and 2 more in CA alone. However because of the small populations those states only had say 5 electoral votes total between them. California on the other hand has say 8 million people total (regardless of how many voted) so they get 10 votes.
So, even though only 5 million people out of say 10 million in CA voted for candidate B he still gets all 10 votes and wins. This in spite of the fact that candidate A actually got twice as many popular votes (6 million) as candidate B who only got 3 million total but ultimately got twice as many electoral votes which allowed him to win.
Does it make sense now???????? Doesn't seem fair given that the 'people' are supposed to rule the government and the 'people' spoke but were over ruled by the political process they are supposed to control.
Funny thing though about the whole process. Regardless of how the popular vote goes the electoral votes are not guaranteed to follow. Throuhout history is is customary to vote for the man that wins the popular election in the state but the person doing the voting can still vote for the other candidate if he so chooses.
