Popular vote is called "democracy".The person with the most votes win and every vote has equal weight. It doesn't give California and Texas more power except insofar as they have more people. What it does is it stops rednecks in places like the Dakotas from having their votes count double because they still get 2 senators (thereby padding their electoral college votes) even though proportionally no people live there.
