It’s not an issue at all, the system does not regard popular vote by design.
That isn't true. The system was intended to be more democratic, the current winner-take-all norm came long after the constitution was written.
Teams with the most yards lose some football games, too. Is that an issue?
Run to win the election under the rules that are in force.
This does not make any sense to me. Elections is not a game, it is people's inalienable right to have equal representation compared to others. If politicians decide that State X doesn't matter since it's not powerful with respect to EC, this is blatantly undemocratic and needs to be fixed asap.
I’m oddly of the opinion that anything that makes someones vote worth more than another's isnt a good system.
