One thing to consider is that the electoral college system also accounts for varying levels of economic density.

While I often hear “land doesn’t vote”, people don’t consider that a farm will never have the same economic output as an office building with the same footprint. This includes the population that comes with all that employment. There needs to be a way to represent the less economically dense sectors of the country because otherwise cities will dominate everything.

Yeah good point. Its sort of hidden in my argument, but economic diversity (including density) is part of the overall diversity and it's critical to "the system as a whole".

That office building might have more economic outpiut, but at the end of the day it's the farm that feeds people and mines that provide materials to build the offices. We can do without Meta or Google, but without farms people start starving and revolting pretty quickly.
