Can't argue that point entirely, but the fact that the individuals that make up the electoral college do not have to vote the way their citizens did should be addressed. If you recall, that was a probability in the Fla gang. I would respectfully propose that we should look beyond state lines. Rural areas tend to cross state lines, just as urban areas do. This would seem to even out the bias to some extent. Further, if the electoral college is a fair representation of the populace, each member representing the same number of citizens, from where comes the bias in the first place?
I still maintain that the reason for it in the first place was the slow process of getting information from one locale to another and not to assure that differently populated areas would have a method of maintiaining some semblance of parity. Like I said, I cannot argue with conviction that what you say may be an unanticipated result of the system.
Cheers!!
