Without the EC, eight cities would control the county.
Which 8? Doe they all vote the same? Does EVERYONE in those cities vote? Do they all vote the same?
People keep using this worst case scenario to bash political
Here is the reality of the EC as is
If you win the 11 most states with the most electors by 1 vote each you win the election even if you lose 100% of the rest of the vote.
It’s simply a broken system that enables the a minority to overrule a plurality.
And most of the time it doesn’t matter almost always the 2 are the same.

The U.S. Population is just over 300,000,000.
The cities of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Jose, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, D.C., Boston, El Paso, Detroit, Portland, Las Vegas and Baltimore alone make up 25,183,303.
That's just over 8% of the entire country. I put those 16 cities because it's almost guaranteed that they will vote almost unanimously for a Socialist.
That means that anyone running against them would need a minimum of 60% of the REMAINDER of the country in order to win while the Prog would need just barely 40%.
