There is a better way, which would shut the Democrats up once and for all.

Go by county. This way a county like Kings County in NY with a million and a half people has the same vote as a county in upstate NY with 200 people.

Takes away cheating, because if your county is rigged and you promote illegal aliens and criminals voting, knock yourself out. It’s the same 1 vote as the county that follows all the rules.

Plus, 83% of the counties in this country vote Republican.

Actually, the Congressional District Method [CDM] is what you are advocating - and it is by far the fairest voting method.

With CDM, one electoral vote is allocated for each of the Congressional districts within a state. There are then two electoral votes left over from the state's allocation of electoral votes. These represent the state's two Senate seats.

From there, it is simple, win a Congressional district - receive its electoral vote. Win the state overall - receive the two Senate seat electoral votes as a "bonus".

Recounts would be limited to only those districts where the voting was close. Albeit, in a close state-wide vote, all districts might have to be recounted.

In any event, the winner of a district wins its votes and the popular vote winner in the state gets the "bonus".
