Are you thinking of the US Senate? The electoral college is not meant to give a proportionally larger weight to small states.

Are you sure that that's not exactly what it's designed to do? Can you explain what it _is_ designed to do? (edit: I'm not claiming either way, but would like to understand what you're claiming) (edit: hmmm, a single downvote ...)
