You mean the rural mob, from those former slave-owning states. The ones
who get outsize representation in the Electoral College.

Do you have any idea of how many rural states either didn't exist prior to
the Civil War or never allowed slavery? What is that 'outsized
representation' canard?  Do you know how the Electoral College is formed?

Quick lesson: every state has two Senators, no more, no less. That's a
total of 100 votes out of 538. Where do the other 438 votes come from.
Washington DC gets 3 votes despite not being a state. That's the
equivalent of 2 Senators and 1 Representative. All state have at least one
Representative. Until the last election cycle this state only had one.

How are the representative apportioned?

https://www.census.gov/topics/public-sector/congressional-apportionment/
about.html

"The apportionment calculation is based upon the total resident population
(citizens and noncitizens) of the 50 states."

Now isn't that interesting? Fill your state with noncitizens and you may
get more Representatives, hence more votes in the EC.

So it comes out to the more populous states getting more votes. Montana is
a rural state that did not achieve statehood until 1889 and never had
slavery. It gets a massive 4 votes out of the 538. Yeah, that's really
outsized representation. I guess it's better than the 3 we used to get.
