Electoral College in each state?

[Barnes]

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!

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.

Well, it was like the electoral college.

Basically, counties were divided into three groups. Urban, Town, and Rural. Urban counties got 6 votes each, Town 4, and Rural 2. There were only eight classified Urban counties, 30 Town counties, and Rural made up the remaining 121.

So, of course, whoever won the rural area, even though it only made up 32% of GA's population, won. As you might have guessed, this was primarily used to disenfranchise Blacks who lived in the large cities.
