The Electoral College doesn’t just protect smaller states

The electoral college is extremely important to giving less populated states ability to advocate for themselves. If the electoral college was abolished, or weakened states with high population, particularly with large cities, will dictate what happens to the states that have less population. This is extremely unfair, especially considering the fact that many of those less populated states produce the food, building materials, fuel ETC that power and sustain those cities that often vote and think very differently. Different states and areas have different wants and needs, and generally people should control themselves and their communities, not have control over what happens to people who they'll never meet.
