Frankly, I'm surprised that no one has tried a suit to force single-member districts for the EC in those States that choose to let the people elect the college directly.  Besides State legislatures, such suits have forced some State judgeships to be elected from single member districts IIRC, so I can't think of any reason why similar arguments could not be used for the EC.

However, I figure after we have several gerrymandered elections in a row in which the winner of the PV loses the EV, we'll end up with a strong reform effort that will change how the President is elected, either to direct PV, some sort of moderated proportional system, or perhaps election by Congress itself.
