End the Electoral College?

[chimp3]

I like each state having 2 senators. That puts each state on equal footing. The house is based on population. The senate provides the balance in state power to the house. The electoral college is a combination of the two. Each state gets 2 electoral votes at a minimum and then the rest based on population. With California at 55 votes and N. Dakota at 3 subtracting 2 votes each does not seem to make a major difference. So, I don't see why I , as an individual, need to place the concerns of my state over my individual vote for president.
