"For senate races, a candidate would need to a majority of counties to win the state election.
Currently in some states if you the biggest city, you most likely win the state. This disenfranchises voters in rural areas of states knowing that their votes are in vain.
When you look at a political map of the US it's dominated by red geographically, yet the blue dots dominate the political results.
I believe this is increasing the polarization of our country.
Looking at the senate races in Georgia and Nevada. If a candidate wins the Atlanta metro (Fulton County and a couple others) yet loses 90% of the other counties in the state, they will likely still win. Same thing in Nevada as Laxalt is dominating most counties statewide winning 15 of 17, but if he loses Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno) he may lose the election."
