I particularly hate most states going winner take all on their electoral votes, that’s the main problem.

Urban centers are more disconnected than ever from rural realities, and more bent on a tyrannically universal approach to legislation 2

Urban centers are more disconnected than ever from rural realities, and more bent on a tyrannically universal approach to legislation That's the reason I usually hear, so that cities don't boss around the most rural of areas. But society continues to urbanize, and this trend is not going to reverse. In 30 years, with the percentage of citizens being urban even larger, is the E.C. still going to "protect" the rural people? At some point, if enough people are urban, they're going to call the shots no matter what. Giving farmin' states two senators seems like the biggest benefit the sub-million states have.
That One Guy Posted June 5, 2024 Author Posted June 5, 2024 I take huge issue with all-or-nothing electoral votes. It tells California R's and North Dakota/Alaska/Iowa etcccc R's that their vote does not influence the election whatsoever. If the electoral college is so important in its current form, why do we even allow two states to split their electoral votes?

That already happens in states like Illinois, Oregon, and Washington.
Union 5-3992 Posted June 5, 2024 Posted June 5, 2024 Give me proportional distribution of the electoral college. But leave the electoral college to give some power to smaller population states.
