The people of each state vote to determine which candidate their state selects. And each state is given a two votes just for being a state (one per senator) and one vote for each house member, which is based on the total population of the state.
I can't come up with a fairer system. Would you prefer a system where every state gets the same vote, be it North Dakota or California? Or one where California completely steamrolls North Dakota with its massive population, leaving only a few populous states to choose the president?
