NB If I thought the OP was having a joke I wouldn't say this. But it seems plain it's no joke

The cities being denied fair representation is no joke. This is an issue of taxation without representation.

Dude, I didn't realize you were this stupid. Cities don't get represented in elections, people do. People represent themselves by voting. A vote in rural Appalachia counts just as much as a vote in a big city.

Devil's advocate here but this is a Presidential election. People don't get represented (directly) in Presidential elections, the states do. In that respect a vote from like West Virginia is actually worth double a vote from New York (but half a vote from Wyoming).

When you think about it but would some sort of system of electoral votes based on municipal boundaries hypothetically be more fair than one based on entire states because it'd have the same flaws but people's votes would be more likely to matter, and count for their candidate of choice
