National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

[defe07]

Here's what I propose. Have a national popular vote plan with weighted votes. All the voters vote as usual. However, the smallest state is the most important. Here's why: a state has 30,000,000 votes and the smallest state has 600,000 votes, this means that the smallest state has a voting power of 50. So, what do we do? Take any state and calculate its votes by dividing the state's votes by the smallest state's votes and you get a result. Now, each candidate "loses" its voting power by dividing its votes by the result and you get a weighted vote.

In state A, with 30,000,000 votes, you have the Democrat getting 18,000,000, the Republican getting 10,000,000 and the Independent 2,000,000. In state B, with 600,000 votes, the Republican gets 350,000, the Independent gets 150,000 and the Democrat gets 100,000. But, all the votes for state B, which is the smallest state of the country, stay the same. The other 49 states have less votes.  So, in state A, the Democrat gets 360,000, the Republican gets 200,000 and the Independent gets 40,000 votes.

True, that's not my intention! We need the one man, one vote principle!

Except that with your system a vote from one Wyoming guy has 72 more weigh than one of a Californian.

What about nowadays? Don't the small states have more voting power than the large states? WY has 3 EV and CA has 55. That means that WY has 17 times more the voting power of CA.
