That way if Detroit wants to cheat and produce 10 trillion votes for Obozo, they can and it won’t make a bit of difference. They’ll still pick up only the allotted number of electoral votes for the district.
Exactly why the GOP needs to push this in every state possible. The whole point of the electoral college is to prevent urban enclaves outvoting and ruling over agricultural regions.
The Founders weren't stupid, they were seeking a balance that would avoid the city elite / peasant farmer dichotomy that civilization tends to devolve toward.

I agree but do you really think bring it down to districting is a good idea? Suppose the corrupt democrats claim the State leglsators?
Presidential elections will go with the State leglsators, which on 2nd though might not be so bad.
I withdraw opposition, provided it follow the congressional district model.
Since we were formed as the United STATES and not the United Electoral Votes or United Congressional Districts do you think that the Founders were seeking a balance more at the individual state level rather than what you mention (the city elite vs. peasant farmer)?
