1 person 1 vote - is not true
To be a real democracy every vote has to be equal but because people in different places have a different culture and economy it is thought to be unfair to their needs to treat them equally. So then we give LOCATION a weight on people's vote making them unequal. Location is a crude way to identify culture/societies.
You don't have large (population) states bullying other states-- because they are not people; they are locations and if everybody has the same equal vote/input in the system then if everybody lives in 1 place it SHOULD have more input; only MORE in the sense of location; it's EQUAL in terms humans.
Electoral College gives empty states like IOWA and swing states the power to bully all the rest the states. It also means you can GAME the system by targeting only weak spots. Targeted cheating instead of larger cheating. The EU is a federation of rich cultures. The US is completely random; often their borders drawn along geographic formations like rivers with no cultural, economic differences within regions.
