I mean in that particular example it’s specifically a limit that was put on our democracy. Which is to say, make sure your state joins the national popular vote compact if they haven’t already:

That's not the only example. The Senate and House also give low population density states outsized influence. So we'll end up with a popularly elected president thwarted by an undemocratic congress. Oh, and senates at the state level have the same problem.

The entire system is fucked and I've given up thinking it's going to do good things. I've been burned too many times.
