Actually, not enough. The Electoral College is deliberately designed to
minimize the value of the vote for those who live in high-population
centres, in favour of the slave-owning states.

 Er, no.
 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
 It was designed to keep the less populated states from being totally
trampled. This state used to have 3 votes.

Similarly in Australia, of our six states and two territories, the two most populus states would have nearly 50% of the population.
In our Lower House, The House of Representatives has 150 (used to be 151 but reduced by one for the election we had over the weekend just gone) and they are based on roughly equal Electors per Division. All Divisions are up for re-election each three years max.
In our Upper House, The Senate, each of the six states, regardless of population, has 12 Senators and the two Territories have/had 2 each. Half are up for (re-)election at each Federal Election.
