- TedDoesntTalk 6y agoCan you explain that? I do not understand.
- vharuck 6y agoA packed stadium rally in Pennsylvania would have about the same number of attendees as a packed stadium rally in Wyoming or Rhode Island. You couldn't just rely on predictable "safe states" won by voters going straight-party on ballots. As it is, there's barely any reason for a Democratic presidential nominee to show up in reliability red states, let alone offer them anything in a platform. Switching to a popular vote could lessen the current extremism.

Apparently you’ve never been to Wyoming, population 550,000. Pennsylvania has 12.8 million. Thank you for affirming my belief that a popular vote system is just as ridiculous for America.
