One vote is one vote for every state, and the majority of the state gets to choose who they're voting for. Since it is a federal system California votes don't bleed into other states like Utah. A mostly country state is going to have different views and problems than a mostly urban state. If someone wants to get rid of the federal system then that's an argument, but I wouldn't support that either.
I have no problem with the EC if it was not a "winner-take-all" system.
And that is up to the individual states, so there is nothing the federal government can really do about that.
I just point out that the concept of "rural v urban" representation in the Senate is not accurate. The small states are not all rural and the larger states are not all urban/big city. It just depends on where someone drew a line on a map hundreds of years ago.
