The map shows why the founding Fathers did not want a popular vote. Sure the country has changed but the idea is, all people have a vote that matters, and the cities don't rule the rural areas.

Just like the coastal elite don't rule the entire rest of the country.

Here I thought the idea was representation and not disenfranchising a large part of the population?

The voting map, is very similar to the population map. Here's population on the left...

Fair is fair, same for everyone.
