In Kentucky, Obama won 10 of the state's 11 biggest cities. In fact, he won each of the 7 largest cities.

Yet Romney gets all 8 electoral votes.

Is that fair?

I Oregon, Romney won 26 of 36 counties.

yet Obama got all 7 electoral votes.

Is that fair?

I think this has become an issue of taxation without representation.

The larger cities are paying most of the taxes, but the outlying areas are getting most of the benefits. At the same time, the outlying areas are effectively controlling all of a state's electoral votes.

I'm sure you can find the same scam in other states. I bet Obama carried each of Indiana's 7 largest cities, even though Romney got all the electoral votes.

This argument has as much merit as saying that white people pay most of the taxes so their votes shouldn't get drowned out by minorities. Actually probably more, since this is actually true whereas yours might not be, suburbs pay plenty of taxes.

The ones Romney won generally don't have many people.

The cities Obama won have less people than the rest of the state.
