Well consider the commie authors of this piece and the fact that they're trying to give advice to the Republican Party. The whole idea behind changing how electoral votes are allocated is to stop the uber-liberal cities from overwhelming rural areas of states in National elections. For instance, Pennsylvania is mostly a Conservative state by county and congressional district, but Philly and Pittsburgh always tip the balance to the Rats.

I support the effort and think that it is high time that rural counties stand up against the big cities.

So why should your opinion and vote count more if you live in a rural area than in a city?

You need a better answer than "because that will help Republicans to win" or "I agree with people that live in rural areas."

Just yesterday I sent out emails to my state representative, senator, governor, and SOS to tell them I support it.

Otherwise, its become rather pointless for me to vote in a presidential election when the state will go to whoever Detroit and Flint vote for.

Getting rid of the 17th amendment is a much higher hurdle that also needs to be dealt with at some point.
