If Popular Vote was end all be all then candidates would campaign differently

Already hearing how HRC should be POTUS if she wins popular vote.
My response would be that candidates didn't focus at all on places like Ca or Tx or Or or La bc they knew it would be worthless bc they had no shot at the EVs. If the popular vote meant something then those states would receive much more attention bc every vote counts a lot more.

It isn't too different now.
Also, I think campaigning is progressing with all of the different forms of media.

It's desperation talk generally from morons.

I know it's not that big of a margin. Im just saying Trump would have focused a lot more on areas of Ca that could swing his way if their vote really mattered same would be true for HRC. 65-35 could've been shifted to 60-40 theoretically if the candidate attempted to put forth the effort.

My feelings exactly. A republican would go into a blue state to try to get more votes whereas a democrat would go into a red state to try to get more votes. It would change these places these candidates might go.

The whole reason for the EC system is that it forced candidates to campaign outside of the cities with dense populations. It worked but it created new problems. Now the candidates skip entire states because they know the time will be wasted. No matter the system there will be flaws. Hillary should absolutely not be President based on the popular vote because that is not the system we have in place at the moment.

More people would have voted. I know lots of people who didn't vote here because they said "Alabama's going red anyway". If each individual vote counted, many of them would have gone to the polls.

I believe the Electoral College needs to be done away with. The more elections we have where the EC and pop vote are split the bigger the need is to do away with it. Everyone's vote should count.
