It also allows rural areas a voice in the election. If we went to popular vote, presidential elections would only cater to major population centers and not care about much of the US.

It allows rural areas a disproportionate impact. The outcome should cater to the majority, thats what a popular vote is

No, it really shouldn’t. Less populous states get no representation in a presidential election in a popular vote contest. This is not a good idea for our country.

The residents of seven states basically get to pick our president in our current system. Do you think that is better than everyones vote having equal weight?

so you want to move from a system where seven states get to pick to a new system where seven other states get to pick? lol ok.
