[QUOTE="RocksInMyHead, post: 76305074, member: 284142"] This argument has never made sense to me. First of all, we are not an autocracy, so the President being elected by majority would not result in "unfair representation" for rural areas as the President's power is balanced by the legislative branch (most notably the Senate, where all states have equal representation regardless of population) and the Supreme Court. Second, I don't see what would make it "unfair" - one person, one vote is as fair as you can get when selecting an individual to represent the entire country. Third, it's perfectly possible for a presidential candidate to run on a platform that would appeal to both rural and urban voters - while they don't always have the same priorities, there are certainly things that they can agree on, and their differing priorities are not necessarily in opposition to each other.
