That's exactly what they're afraid of. Out of the 50 biggest cities in America, Republicans win elections in 4 of them; they suck at pitching their platform where large numbers of people live, and they know it.

Popular vote, equitable split by population density - doesn't matter, they can ONLY win by stripping electoral power from metropolitan areas. And they know it. And that's why they filibustered attempts to scrap the EC in the 70's.
