[@Penny] Yes, that is the point of it. It's not a trick or an error that's exactly how it was designed.

I get that the point of the system is to make it less democratic, partly because there was some merit to it. I just think its reasonable to question whether it becomes unreasonable to give a voter from Montana so much more impact than one from New York. Id rather see more lower case D democracy than less. It will be interesting to see what the demographics look like a hundred years from now will we have rotten borough style states? Because there is no way the system will change, why would the three people who live in Wyoming sign off on a constitutional amendment that would make their vote less important.

The whole Electoral College/popular vote thing is a bit of a red herring anyway. The real concern is that millions of Americans apparently thought that the current regime was a good idea.
