quote:that's what i'm saying. The common thought by everyone (including dems which is why they want it) is that they'd win every single election
We have no idea who would have won if it was a straight popular vote
i'm not convinced of that. I don't know how it would go, but I suspect that like you said, it could go either way and generally speaking the macro results would be pretty much the same...but i'm just saying it's a possibility. We don't use it for many reasons, many really fricking good reasons.

The issue I have with the EC is the way the votes are distributed. We all know the the EC basically goes by census numbers. The census counts every person. Persons counted in the census include citizens, legal immigrants, non-citizen long-term visitors and illegal (or undocumented) immigrants. Not counting illegal aliens costs cities and states federal money, resulting in a reduction of services to all residents.
According to ruff numbers from the election results, around 8.5 million people voted in California. New York had roughly 7.9 million voters. But California gets 55 EV vs New York only 29 EV. So a vote in California is worth more than a vote in New York.
I know HRC won both states, but how many other states reflect higher voter turn out with less EV.
