So, once again our governmental systems were damaged by slavery, and continue to be so today. We're still stuck with the Electoral College because the slave states wouldn't accept the Constitution without this mechanism, because so many of their inhabitants were slaves. And of course a Constitutional Amendment is almost impossible to pass, especially with many states invested in keeping that loathsome relic. Meanwhile, voters in populous states count for less than 1 person 1 vote, while other stats' voters count for more. Ridiculous.
