Which is why we should follow the Federalist papers and Madisons views more closely.

What would be the most democratic and federalist idea would be the following:

Each state currently has electoral votes equal to the number of senators (2) and reps (population/district based).

Each congressional district gets a vote, while the 'popular' vote winner in each state gets the 2 senate votes. This splits the power between the people, and gives the state itself official representation in Washington. Maine currently has this set up. California is on its way as well. Originally, most states did.
