The president needs a majority of states to be elected, not voters, therefore a voter in a state with a low population has a more powerful vote than a voter in a more populated state. As this is compounded by the fact that there are finitely many people to campaign to - thus campaigning heavily to win fewer voters in states with lower populations will be much more successful than campaigning in bigger states. How is this in any way "democratic"?
