You know how 10% of counties win elections (see 2008, 2012)? The electoral college is there so that number doesn't become 2%.

Their "vote" would be equal to any of the other millions of Americans anywhere ? ) Second, I don't understand how in a "no electoral college" universe, the concept of a "county" is even relevant. With every vote being perfectly equal, one would think the balance of power would perfectly equalize across all voters.
