No, the county/parish system wouldn’t be that fair. Some states, like Texas, Georgia, and Missouri have lots of little counties while others have a few very large counties. The system to make the Electoral College a bit more “fair” would be to allocate an Electoral College vote for each Congressional District won, and each state’s other two EV for the winner of the state. I haven’t seen an analysis of this year’s election figured on that basis, but most elections it doesn’t change the outcome all that much. But it would encourage candidates to campaign in states like California, New York and Texas—states that aren’t currently swing states.
Good point.
You absolutely know that liberals would then create TONS of counties in high density liberal areas in order to get more votes.
