States need electoral colleges, too.

The big cities determine virtually all statewide offices. Rural folk have no voice.

That’s the exact solution for the state problem. And it needs to carry over to national elections by awarding one vote per county or other legal entity as far as the state’s electoral votes are assigned. Gives less dense population areas a say, too. It’s only fair! And so on...

Bingo... Absolutely. No tax representation either. All the revenue collected is spent in the major cities and there is never any left for rural areas. Rural areas never get back even 10% of what they pay into the system because the cities steal it all.

If a City incorporates they should no longer be eligible to receive county tax revenue. Let them live on what they collect locally within in that incorporated municipality.

The rest of the county should not have to pay to support that corporation with the bulk of revenue. Their own bed for incorporating, let them lie in it for the decision they made.
