- mieseratte 7y agoIt’s not an issue at all, the system does not regard popular vote by design.
- hannasanarion 7y agoThat isn't true. The system was intended to be more democratic, the current winner-take-all norm came long after the constitution was written.

- gnulinux 7y agoThis does not make any sense to me. Elections is not a game, it is people's inalienable right to have equal representation compared to others. If politicians decide that State X doesn't matter since it's not powerful with respect to EC, this is blatantly undemocratic and needs to be fixed asap.
- tedmcory77 7y agoI’m oddly of the opinion that anything that makes someones vote worth more than another's isnt a good system.
