> How is the electoral college system not in conflict with the Constitution then, if a person's vote in one state is much stronger than another person's vote in another state?

The electoral college system gives equal weight to the vote of everyone who isn't an elector, and that weight is 0.

It gives stronger votes to large states than to small states, except that states are allowed to split their votes, which obviates that complaint.
