The electoral college was established at the federal level for national elections, so I assume the founders meant what they did.

They also left the apportionment of electoral votes up to the states to decide for themselves.

>> The map below shows the counties won by Obama in blue and the ones won by Romney in red. We’re all ruled by the cities. <<

Bingo. The freepers claiming it's a north vs. south battle in this country with "liberal yankeeland" have it wrong. States like Indiana certainly aren't "liberal". Rather, it's an urban vs. rural battle for the culture of this country.

If you live in El Paso, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Memphis, Detroit, Miami, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Denver, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Charlotte, Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc., the local government and electorate is overwhelmingly Democrat and liberal.

The cities have become over-representative in the representative assembly that is the Electoral College. This is the way to balance it. State by state.

This is saying “we can’t win so we rig the game”.

Strangely it works for the Dims?

We will never win another election if we let them own the voting machines, which should be outlawed.

I think you’re wrong on this. Here in Washington State, elections are won by the votes of King County, in spite of the fact that most of the state is conservative.
