If you are truly proposing an electoral system based on mathematics, then either "Performance in swing states like Pennsylvania & Ohio should count for a lot, because winning there is crucial to winning the general election." is irrelevant, or horribly conflicting to your entire premise.
- aneesh 19y agoWhy is that conflicting? I'm only proposing to identify such states statistically, and give them higher weight.
- noonespecial 19y agoAll of the "a buncha states don't matter so focus on the ones that do" logic should jump up and scream that the system is broken. Oh you live ix X state so why bother campaigning to you because your vote doesn't matter?! With the 2 party quagmire and "electoral college" nonsense that imho has basically stalled the US govt in an endless corporatocracy, worrying about the primaries is like worrying that the lines aren't painted straight on the Tacoma Narrows bridge.
