I can't find it right now, but there was some essay that showed that someone could technically win the Presidency with something like 25% of the vote while his opponent got 75%. Basically if they won just 11 states by 1 vote, then didn't get a single vote in the other 39 states, they could win theoretically win the election.
The States rights arguments can be saved for 1850. This country just doesn't run that way anymore and never will. It's absolutely remarkable that our country boasts about democracy to the world yet doesn't allow its own people to elect their President.
