Your first paragraph implies that that you don't really want all votes to be equal because you think it would give power to large population centers (also implying that somehow country folk should have more say in elections than their urban and suburban brethren).  Then you say that NPVIC would tamper with the vision of our founding fathers even though the "winner take all" system of electoral votes currently used by most states was never envisioned by said fathers nor was it used by most states in early elections.  It seems to me that you prefer the unfair status quo because it puts you in a position of increased power compared to what would be warranted by the number who have your viewpoint.  Contrary to what you are "sensing", fairness is the main reason many of us want to see the NPVIC passed.  Being "country folk" myself, I have no problem with my vote counting the same as someone in New York City or Houston but I don't like it counting less than someone who votes in a swing state
