Regarding your second step, it is really not necessary, we essentially already have that, it's only ignored. The state representatives are supposed to pick the electors for presidential election, NOT based on the popular vote, but based on the party that has the power in the state legislatures. THAT is how they have REALLY been stealing the presidency for decades now. There are SEVERAL states where the electors are given to the popular vote in the state, rather than being selected by the legislature that represent the districts of the states. It's essentially what you seem to be saying re. "Electoral college wherein counties become 'states'"
THAT is something that people need to realize that is both right there, ripe for the picking and really simple to the point that it would have prevented the outcome of this election as well as most Democratic wins for at least the last 40 years.
It's sometimes rather disheartening to see and realize that people on our side are just not on the ball with these things. All it would take is to identify how the electoral college was perverted in each state and how it can be changed back (some states made it a state constitutional amendment) and then attack the representatives and hold them to pledges to not vote to support the popular vote electoral slate that is a violation of the Constitution and disenfranchises their votes.
There should also be a concerted effort to organize a legal campaign against the system on those grounds.
Literally if they followed the Constitution, several States would have sent Republican electors … but they didn't and they just followed the popular vote and ignored the Constitution and screwed their constituents. THAT is why the state district representatives HAVE TO be pressured to hold them to the Constitutional slate of electors regardless of how the population votes for president. There's literally nothing in the constitution that requires state popular vote for President … you vote for your representative and THEY are supposed to vote for the electors.
It's a REALLY easy ripe ass fruit if people would just get what is going on and what was done to pervert the system that way.
I cannot understate just how huge this aspect is and just how frustrating it is that people don't see it. It's literally key to everything in many ways. Which is EXACTLY why the democrats want to get rid of the electoral college altogether, because they KNOW if our side starts understanding this, they are FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKT
