Not sure what you mean.  The popular vote at the national level doesn't count.  Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

the way things are now, with each state getting a minimum of 3 electoral votes (one for each senator and member of congress), the low population states get more of a voice.

Wyoming 1 electoral vote for each 195 thousand people
California 1 electoral vote for each 705 thousand people

now population is not the same as eligible voters

Wyoming has 209k registered voters at this moment, so each electoral vote represents 69.6k voters
California has 17.7m registered voters, so each electoral vote represents 321.8k voters

His statement was around how county lines to make individual votes.

People do. 

So while there may be more red counties. For the most recent elections on a national level, there have been more blue people so to speak.

Blue people makes me think of the Blue Meanies from the Beatles song Yellow Submarine.  :)
