The smaller a state is the more beneficial the electoral college is. The number of electoral votes a state is given is the number of senators (2 for each state) and the number of representatives in the House (minimum of one). Because of this each state is given at leaste 3 votes even if they only had a population of 10 people. The ratio of votes to residents in a state like Rhode Island is much higher than the ratio of electoral votes to residents in a state like California. Because the ratio of electoral votes to people ratio is higher in Rhode Island each citizen of Rhode Island's vote counts for more than that of a Californian. The system was enacted when communication was poor and it was easier to pick a winner in each state then combine the electoral votes than it was to carry the number of votes between states and add it all up at the end.
