It's very disturbing and I think a violation of Equal Protection/one person one vote. That being said this could just be a trial balloon being floated and no editorials or anyone sane will endorse this. I know legislatures did this before 1820 but that was well before the 14th amendment was enacted.

1. It's not "rigging" the electoral college.

Well, yes it is rigging - just as the House is now a rigged institution: gerrymandering is rigging.

Gerrymandering has existed for 200 years.
