Does it? What if there state votes for the popular winner and that popular winner is not the winner?
Remember, this will work both ways - eventually we will have a democrat that doesn't win the popular vote as well in the current system.
- rootusrootus 7y agoIt will only ever tip that way for a Democrat when Democrats become the party of rural voters.
- outside1234 7y agoWhy? There are plenty of small democratic states too - Rhode Island, Hawaii, etc. etc.
- throwaway2048 7y agoThey are vastly outnumbered by rural republican states.
- hannasanarion 7y agoThe urban/rural thing is a red herring. The Electoral college doesn't give more power to rural areas. It gives power to purple states, where the election is close. How many people are in the state doesn't matter.
- gfodor 7y agoIf a state votes for the popular winner then they are already going to give their electoral votes to that winner, right? For the people of the state, this basically diluted the impact their vote has (kind of self evident, since that is the point of the electoral college)
