Well said.
Regarding the electoral college, my understanding is that if we didn't have it, candidates would spend almost all of their time lobbying in California and northeastern states like New York. They wouldn't touch my hometown, Pittsburg (that's no "h" thank you very much), or anywhere else in Kansas or similar states.
Is it fair then that some votes are more valuable than others? No, but it might be just. This is similar to minority rights, as the people and culture in Alabama is vastly different from those living in the far outnumbering New York, and yet, well, those Alabama guys deserve a chance, don't they? (Even though they look funny.)
