If you reallllly wanted to let rural voters have more power (all of flyover county, not just part of it), you'd break down the electoral college down to each county. That way, rural voters everywhere would have more power.
You fundamentally misunderstand the EC. States already have this power if they so chose to exercise it.

No I don’t. States can split up their electoral votes but the number of votes that a state has is still based on the population of that state, giving some states with smaller populations an advantage. Thus a rural vote in Wyoming is still weighted more heavily than a rural vote in New York State, even if electors divvy up the votes in both cases.
I’m talking about redrawing the entire electoral college, not based on state lines at all. Based on county.
