Which nullifies one vote per person. That’s just a fact.

I guess that one person, one vote doesn't imply an equal vote, so nullification is a bit of a hyperbole. That said, it bastardizes the concept at best if John's vote in Kentucky is counts as one vote and Toby's vote in New York only counts as 3/5 of a vote. Plus, the electoral college was intended to keep populists like Trump out of office and while I'm annoyed that they weren't successful, that reeks of aristocratic puppeteering, don't it?

What you need to do is read up on what’s going on to the earth’s environment.
