candidates will not care about, or visit those states.
If Alaska has 11 people, and California has 1 million, then the candidate
would focus their energies on policies geared towards more densely populated
areas.
If I can create policies that cater to New York, Illinois, California,
Texas, Michigan, and Florida then I have won the election, while I've left
out a number of other states.

How? How will sparsely populated states lose their voice????
If 11 people live in Alaska, then dammit, Alaska should get 11 votes if all
of it's citizens vote.
I just dont see how thats such a problem. I see it as a much bigger problem
if those 11 citizens all of a sudden get 11 electoral votes. 11 is a much
higher % of 270, than it is of 290 million.
