James Madison believed that every state should be divided into districts that would be limitrd to one representative for every 30,000 inhabitants and one Presidential Elector.

He also believed that each Presidential Elector should be chosen to represent his Congressional District and not necessarily the choice of the majority,

The Elector should be  a highly respected, wise ,virtuous non partisan individual rather than a partisan spokesmen for a political party.

He opposed Nationwide Presidential Elections because he did not trust the judgment of millions of ignorant and uninformed voters. 

The "Winner Take All" method of allocating all of the state's  electoral votes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes is classic example of a tyranny of the majority and the danger associated with democracy

He believed that rather than having nationwide popularity contest we should have an election in each Congressional District to choose a presidential Elector. 

The Supreme Court has affirmed that the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment demands that every persons vote needs to be treated  and the doctrine og equally.

The time has come for the 48 states that use the "Winner Take All" method of allocating their electoral votes to ban this system that violates the Constitution and the .

Nationwide Presidential Elections are popularity contests with  the "Winner Take All" system of allocating  all of the state's  electoral votes to the candidate receiving the most popular votes is classic example of a tyranny of the majority and the danger associated with direct democratic elections.
