There's no county electoral system in any state to protect the citizens of the state from the tyranny of the majority. What if the easily swayed, foolish massed elected a horribly unqualified governor for the wrong reasons (ahem california)? What if 51% of the citizens of montana voted to enslave the other 49%?
There's no electoral system to save those folks. I haven't heard yet if that has been a huge problem, but i'll keep you posted.

The difference is they are local elections. You are a lot less likely to shit on your neighbor then the guy on the other side of the nation. In addition if a state were to kill its own infrastructure it would be in a lot of trouble. But Montana's infrastructure has no bearing on California's economy.
