Fair point. It was predictable that things would end up that way given the system's design. Equally powerful votes is the best practically, but even that's imperfect. Elections can be life or death for some, but not matter as much for others. American elections matter more for people in other countries than for many American citizens. That's the inequality I was talking about, but you're correct. It isn't the only one.
