No, but why should that be how we decide who runs the country?

And does the current system even do that? Ask over 4 million California conservatives.

The current system leads to candidates catering to swing states and people in firmly red or blue states basically not mattering.

It shouldn't be. That's why we have the EC

That's also not true, specially these days. Hillary never even visited WI and barely went to MI and she lost those because she assumed they were in the bag for her.

The current system does it, yes. Instead of a national popular vote, we essentially have a lot of state-wide popular votes. The California Republicans are outnumbered which is why they feel like they don’t matter. If we continue with open borders and move to a NPV, Republicans across the country will feel the same way as those in California when Democrats win every time.
