The electoral collage isn’t a terrible system in concept, the idea of giving non-proportional say to small areas so that their views and concerns are accounted for is valid. Where is falls over is in the winner takes all approach that some states apply.

The House of Representatives exists to represent such areas.

The Presidency represents the USA at large.
