Because we aren’t a democracy? The extra votes are for the states themselves.

States are represented by the senators. Senators are selected via popular vote.

What’s the difference between a vote for Trump in CA vs a vote for Trump in OK?

What’s the difference between the two EC votes California gets as a state, and the two Utah gets as a state.

Don’t like a republic. Pass an amendment.

If we elected the President by popular vote we’d still be a republic.

Could be.
