Or they'll just move to the suburbs
What do you think a "medium" sized city is population wise? Throw out a range. I'd bet they might be more democrat than you would like to think.

One of the most idiotic concepts repeated on this board.

Majority of the state by area or population?
Majority of the political subdivisions known as counties and majority of the population of real Georgians.

And a concentrated urban area that does not reflect the values of the majority of the state, just like the US, politically.
It depends on what you consider the majority of the state. The majority of the population or the majority of the area?

Wish the state charterers would have had the same presence of mind the Founders did with the EV, that’s for sure.
We used to have this system created by Democrats to keep them in power:
quote:
Under the county unit system, the 159 counties in Georgia were divided by population into three categories. The largest eight counties were classified as "Urban", the next-largest 30 counties were classified as "Town", and the remaining 121 counties were classified as "Rural". Urban counties were given 6 unit votes, Town counties were given 4 unit votes, and Rural counties were given 2 unit votes, for a total of 410 available unit votes. Each county's unit votes were awarded on a winner-take-all basis.[2][3]
Candidates were required to obtain a majority of unit votes (not necessarily a majority of the popular vote), or 206 total unit votes, to win the election. If no candidate received a majority in the initial primary, a runoff election was held between the top two candidates to determine a winner.

People vote. Land does not vote.

You say the same about the EC but it’s in place for a reason.

Then lobby to get an EC type system at the state level; land does not vote and your simple analysis of 81% of the counties voted for Walker therefore Walker should win is not how the system is set up.

The EC at least has a significant population component attached to it.

Georgia used to have the county unit system which actually screwed over urban areas in Dem primaries (which were the real elections years ago)

It certainly should be obvious...but it doesn't seem that way to some.
