That's nonsense. Republicans and Democrats compete over the high vote states and ignore the low vote states. It's simply the only way to campaign that makes sense. Look at recent elections, the campaigns have concentrated on the very urban midwest and mid atlantic (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina) while next to no attention is paid to nearby very rural states (Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia) or to rural states in general. In this cycle New Hampshire and Iowa are both within the margin of error in polling but neither campaign is putting much if any effort into either.
Dumping the EC makes every vote equally valuable and would actually make rural votes in urban states important. Consider the rural vote in California, New York and Illinois.
No, the high vote states like New York and California are already decided... as well as the low vote states It is the middle vote states that are contested.

One man one vote. Why isn't this the way we elect our leader?
I already said why... it will hand the presidency over to the big cities, the little guy out in the country will no longer matter.
