  Most didn't according to a metric that's not the metric that is actually used to select the president and thus candidates and parties don't try to optimize for. As for the other point, agree to disagree.

    You don't get to "agree to disagree" about literal numbers. You are literally and inarguably wrong. There is a difference.

      Literal numbers that are unproportionally skewed by two overpowered population centers. It isn't just about proportionally capturing the interest of the individual voter. That individual voter in each state represents a sum total of different interests than a individual voter in another region of the States. California and New York have different exports and interests than say, Wisconsin. You would feel quite different about granting power to overpopulated areas if they were conservative rednecks, wouldn't you? Of course you would.

    Use "elected" instead of "voted" in the future and you're more likely to avoid this kind of semantic distraction in the future.

      Good advice. Thanks for the tip.
