Each county should get an electoral vote. County lines are fixed and cannot be changed without 2/3 majority vote in BOTH state Houses. Fixed. Next question.

The Founding Fathers loathed rotten boroughs and wrote Article One, Section 2 of the Constitution to guarantee equal apportionment.

Gerrymandering is still a problem. There need to be federal laws regarding compactness, contiguousness, etc. I think color-blindness should be part of it but that's not going to happen any time soon.

Agreed, that’s why I said current county/parish lines. It’s built in and doesn’t nod to color or cred.
