Republic- a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
Democracy- a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
Representative Democracy- Representative democracy (also indirect democracy, representative republic or psephocracy) is a type of democracy founded on the principle of elected officials representing a group of people, as opposed to direct democracy.

1. You said we are not a democracy so that entire thing I wrote was to prove you wrong on that.
2. The Electoral College does not fairly represent the will of the people and makes someone's vote in Montana more powerful than someone's vote living in Texas.

2. As such, there is no obligation to represent each person equally in a presidential election. The electoral college was established to represent every region of the country fairly, rather than allow the population centers to dictate all decisions of the federal government. If people in Texas want to have a bigger impact in presidential election, they are free to move to Montana.

As it stands, I completely agree that polititions have a strong interest in the swing states. However, imagine if every person was willing to switch between Democrat and Republican. Polititions focus on swing states because the people there make rational desision on who to vote for based on the appeal of the canidate, so a canidate will spend extra time to persuade those people. If every person was like a swing state, elections would be very different. Therefore, it is the partial fault of the people for causing their own vote to be hindered, because if more people were willing to consider the alternative, elections would shape up very differently!

Wait, are we a democracy or not.
On November 21 you said, "We are a republic, not a democracy." So not a democracy.
At 2:05 pm today, you said, "Correct, and the electoral college is the method used to represent the democracy." So we are one.
At 4:03 pm today, you said, "We aren't a democracy, we are a constitutional republic if you want to be technical." Which I explained how we are a republic and democracy.

If it is fair it is more likely better. If it isn't and creates inequality based on where someone lives then it is not good.
