Alternative Electoral college distributions

The who point of electoral votes and house of representatives and the senate are to balance things out.

Say California is a big state, has a lot of people.... They get more representatives than say Rhode Island...but they have the same number of senators. The electoral college made sense in the past because ballots couldn't be processed digitally. Well the powers that be don't want change, given that it has been challenged many many times.

Hmmmm like everything these days there are too many people for these old fashioned systems to work.

Just like the Rights to Arms in the USA was designed to help the shortage of soldiers during and after the US war of Independence. I think the USA population was under a few million people at the time.
