What you also need is a state legislative house with an equal number of representatives from each county. But the black-robed geeks of SCOTUS ruled such schemes unconstitutional in Reynolds v. Sims (1964).

True, I never thought I would ever advocate for bigger government, but less populated counties have almost no representative power. At the State and County level we are not a Republic, we are a democracy. So the urban culture stomps all over the rural cultures.
