Now, I think that every citizen being treated equally is all fine and good, but there must be a check on rampant tyranny of the majority.

The way to do that is by requiring a supermajority, not by giving some people more voting power.

It's absolutely a legitimate question for electoral college supporters? Why don't we elect the Governor of Illinois with a county based electoral college system? It's not fair that Chicago have that much influence! Sad Sad

I think that a county with 500 farmers should at least be entitled to the same representation that a Chicago suburb with 50,000 gets.
I think there are some States that have such a system.  Mississippi, maybe?


Georgia used to, but it was declared unconstitutional in the 1960s or thereabouts.
