That guy shouldn't. But do you realize that this flaw exists in today's presidential election system?

If in the entire state of California, only 1 voter casts his ballot and the millions of other don't vote or can't vote, then this single ballot would decide all 55 electoral votes of California.

That's true. The difference is on a percentage basis the people who can't vote today are a tiny percentage of the population. In the antebellum South that wasn't the case.
