And when that happens, New Hampshire's voice along with most of the other less populated States would be silenced forever.

We would be governed by New York, California, and Illinois.

Two things:

1) We are a Democratic Republic, not a simple democracy.

2) The Electoral College is written into the Constitution for a reason. To protect everyone from the tyranny of the majority.

You might want to start studying Early American History, The Founding Fathers, and the forming of the Constitution and little more thoroughly.
