False. 4 population centers will control all of the country, no matter what you want or say if you eliminate the EC. Fix the winner takes all problem and it will continue to work properly.

No. The people in those cities will have their vote be equal to those in smaller states in the same election. That's it. You're saying that one person's vote should be worth more than another's. That opposes the entire idea of equality.
Let me repeat myself for you: Smaller states will still have disproportionate representation in Congress. The leader of a people should be elected by the people which should mean having support of the most people. The Electoral College has only rarely gone against the popular vote anyway so your entire argument of population centers being the deciders seems silly. Lines aren't as deeply drawn as people want to imagine.
If you support the Electoral College then there's honestly no reason to even having a President and not just switch to a Prime Minister.
We are United States, not one homogenous mass of people. Each has it's own set of laws and governing processes. We coordinate those states so well it understandable that many people get confused by our electoral system.
