Actually, the idea of a constitutional republic doesn't eliminate the idea of majority rule in elections.
In the case of the US it just shifts it to the state level. If you vote against the state mob your vote is nullified, except those states that allow splitting of the electoral votes.

I know that spiel well. Elections are always majority rule. What the founding fathers did doesn't change that.

There are many constitutional republics with a straight majority vote in their electoral system.
