What about making all votes equal?

The problem? He did not win the higher number of votes. It's only the "old"
system that makes him the winner, even if more US-citizens voted for his
opposite.

This is democracy.
In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson states the following
about the British King:
"He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts
of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation
in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants
only."
I know, what some of you call 'republican' (and not 'democratic') is not
exactly the same but doesn't it represent some more than others in
legislature? Isn't that taking away (at least a part) "a right inestimable
to them and formidable to tyrants only"?
Germany is called a Republic, too (Federal Rapublic of Germany (FRG)), but
we do have equal votes.
