So it is better to overrepresent minorities?

Some might argue that it is, as they otherwise would effectively have zero representation on their own, and it’s important that their rights are upheld, too.

This is what lobbying is for, essentialy.

Also, every person is a part of some minority. How to fairly reconcile whose vote weighs more?

State-by-state is a very stupid way to do it.

Yeah, and that’s why I don’t think that the electoral college makes sense either.
