James Madison believed that every state should be divided into districts that would be limitrd to one representative for every 30,000 inhabitants.
He also believed that each Presidential Elector should be chosen to represent a Congressional District and not the state at large.
Statewide Presdential Elections with the "Winner Take All" m ethod of allocating all of their electoral votes receiving the most popular votes is classic example of a tyranny of the majority, which is exactly what the Electoral College was created to prevent,.
The Elector should be a highly resprctrd wise ,virtuous non partisan man or woman of integrity.
He believed that rather than having state wide popularity contesst we should have eaxh Congressional District conduct a district wide election to choose a presidential Elector to cast a ballot for and in behalf of the people in their district
Rather than allowing over 100 million ignorant and uninformed voters elect the President we would be far better off having the Presidential Electors in the Congressional Districts choose the next President.
The Electoral College was created to insure that voice of the minority of people in the small states would not be ignore an that is exactly what the Winner Take All system promotes.
