You had written, "At least with the electoral college the states with the biggest population won't be dictating policy for the rest of the country", but the EC (which determines the Presidential voting) and the HoR are apportioned by population. That means two out of the three elements are in fact subject to the control of states with high populations.
No, a state's electors in the EC are based on its number of representatives plus senators, so it's skewed in favor of smaller states.

Quote:Your state’s entitled allotment of electors equals the number of members in its Congressional delegation: one for each member in the House of Representatives plus two for your Senators.
And because the # of Representatives varies by population, your "point" (which is simply a weak attempt at an "aha!" moment) does nothing to change my point, that the EC doesn't equalize the influence of small and large states.
