This is the reason why they should change the electoral college from winning most votes in a state to winning most votes by county. This eliminates voter fraud that disenfranchises as any fraud would be limited to the county its committed in. It is then up to the county or local level to deal with the fraud. It also prevents a single county from deciding who wins the state.

“should change the electoral college from winning most votes in a state to winning most votes by county.”

Sounds like a truly great idea.

IMO will require Article V Convention of States as per Mark Levin’s Liberty Amendments.

That's a really interesting idea. It will never happen but you are correct about the impact on illegal voting. It would make it much more difficult.

I’ve been saying this same thing for a long time. The large urban areas carry the votes in most states - without that, many of the blue states would probably be red.

That won’t work because electoral votes are not apportioned by county, but by population. It is proportional representation. States are like mini countries. A States’ electoral votes are what represents the States’ wishes.

One big problem is urban dwellers and rural dwellers have little in common any more. In previous generations, many of the urban dwellers had at least some family, if not they themselves, that came from the farm or rural areas to work “in the new economy”. After 2 or 3 generations of cultural marxism in the schools, the cities are marxist, snowflake, and SJW. Filled with people who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground about how to actually provide for themselves without the government. They don’t know where food comes from, where materials come from, where energy and water come from.
