Why do we even talk about how a state that has fewer than 1% of the country’s population votes?

@pratik Ohio doesn't matter a great deal, but the electoral college system skews things. (Whatever happened to the effort to get states to endorse having all their electoral college representatives vote with the majority of voters countrywide?)
