Rural areas and small states have always been protected in our system, and it's broadly consistent with the aim of protecting (political and numerical) minorities that have been with us since the founding of tne country. You might as well allocate Senate seats based on population as eliminate the EC.
As I said in the other thread, the electoral college does not protect rural areas. Most rural areas, such as upstate New York, downstate Illinois, or Oklahoma, it renders even more irrelevant.
Nor does the electoral college protect political or numerical minorities -- the filibuster does. The electoral college does not.
The Senate would be nicer if it was allocated based on population.
No lol that would destroy the purposes of the senate . The way the senate is currently allocated totally fine and
