In America, land can vote, although not in the Presidential election. The Senate.
- jjeaff 3y agoStill not land voting. Seeing as RI gets the same number of votes as AK. And both senate candidates are selected by popular vote in the state, so even if most of the state is red, big blue cities can swing the vote.
- jack_squat 3y agoRI has the same approximate population as AK. What people mean when they say land votes, is AK compared to NY. AK has a population of < 1M while NY has a population of > 8 million. Proportionally, Alaskans have > 8x the representation in the senate that New Yorkers have.
- jjeaff 3y agoI haven't heard people say "land votes" (except in this thread). Only, "land doesn't vote".
- rmk 3y agoNot a proportional vote but a territorial vote nonetheless.
- lotsofpulp 3y agoIt is the same in the presidential election, since number of electoral votes from the state includes number of senators.
