Maybe Americans should just have elector-counts and be done with it?

I mean, if they're gonna insist on using the electoral system of the Holy Roman Empire anyway.

Maine and Nebraska have proportional electoral counts, and that may be a way forward to reform representation by congressional district. Thus, whomever gets more congressional counts in the state gets the two senate electoral college votes for the state. Given the density of cities from when the system was devised, using that density to disenfranchise the votes of the rest of the state can leave inequalities in the electorate, just as removing the electoral college for a pure popular vote would skew to basically New York and California determining national elections.
