The threat of "the tyranny of the majority" has never been clearer than it is today, whether that is devastating to your ideological case or not. And the states have more influence than the actual Electoral College rules- each state has it's own rules and most are "winner take all". I would not oppose a rule change that was equal among all states as to the apportionment, but to claim that the coastal urban areas should have more political clout than the "fly-over" states shows a distinct bias rather than an understanding of why the Electoral College exists, the 12th Amendment not withstanding.
