The President is not a Representative, and the process for choosing a President is totally and completely up to the State Legislatures.
A uniform national system would a) be unconstitutional; and b) further the idea of "democracy", an evil from the pits of hell rightly feared by our founders.
I”m not asking for a “uniform, national system”. I’m asking the State of Ohio to move to an apportioned system that does not disenfranchise over 70% of the area of the state.
If other states should take up the same cause, that would be their choice.
Yes, the President is not a representative. However, the EC was built around the bicameral legislature model, as devised by the founders.
The Electoral Votes for a state total the number of US Representatives and Senators for the State. With that model, and understanding the underlying principles on which each the House and Senate were devised, It makes abundant sense that the Electoral votes should be apportioned in the same manner, just as I described.
