Electoral College = Minority Rule

Is it easier to get the support of 28 people or 82 million people?

The mathematical structure of the Electoral College makes this a reality; Unity=loser Division=Winner

The above scenario is based on the following set of assumptions:
The winning candidate gets the support of 1 voter from each of the
30 smallest states. Putting them at 271 Electoral Votes
The losing candidate gets the support of 100% of registered voters
from the 20 largest states putting them at 265 Electoral Votes.
