So the alternative is to grant land the right to vote? Strange. I don't
think you guys have thought this through.

This is the "United STATES of America. It was designed to be a union
of states, not a oligarchy ruled by overcrowded coastal cities. Each
state has power, just because it os a state and that shows up in the
Senate and the Electoral College. Since the federal government started
taking our money and dispersing it from DC, there are few other state
powers, even over matters that never leave the state.

This year is a good example. The entire difference in popular vote came
from California. Even in California, it was Clinton on the Coasts and
from San Bernadino south. The rest was very much Trump.
