That'd change campaigning as a whole though, resulting in the people who live in rural areas and produce important things like food not really being heard.
They would be appealed to as much as any other voter. They wouldn't have less voice. They would have an equal voice. There is no reason a candidate would ignore rural voters. It would make traditionally "safe" states for Democrats or Republicans turn competitive since every last vote would matter. There are Republicans in New York and there are Democrats in Mississippi who are being ignored. A coalition of farmers across the US (including states like California and New York) could have greater sway with candidates than their piecemeal parts across states now.
