Of course it's going to have a huge impact on voting results. The votes in the rest of the state count, but there aren't very many of them. There's no point in getting agitated. It's simple numbers. Perhaps you should be happy that each county has an equal say in an election outcome, regardless of population.

The reason people rail against the Electoral College is that it gives less populous states far too much power. Surely you don't want that on a state level, do you?
