Something like that was common earlier. Many state legislatures apportioned the seats according to counties. The Supreme Court did away with it in the 1960s. Baker v. Carr. “One Man One Vote.”

Question: If it’s one man, one vote, then why do we still have the Electoral College on the federal level?
That decision should be the answer to the Left’s dream of the popular vote. Damn near every law, at every level is just a copy of one above it. Some charges require a certain “level of jurisdiction” while others do not.
Georgia has Simple Battery(state charge). Atlanta has Disorderly Conduct(city charge) that has the same exact criminal elements.
So, why not implement an Electoral College procedure just like the ones used for electing the President? The President is the Chief Executive of the USA. A Governor is a Chief Executive of their respective state.
The case that the NC legislature has before SCOTUS, if I’m getting it right, exactly challenges the Baker decision. The Constitution states that the state legislatures make the rules. In NC, the legislature made the rules. Democrats challenged the rules and went to court, where the liberals on the state supreme court sided with the Left, citing the typical discrimination crap. But, if the NC Legislature wins and SCOTUS rules according to what’s written in the Constitution, then neither the courts nor Elias can ever file a lawsuit again, unless they can prove violations of the Voting Rights Act, which I don’t think is easy to do these days.
