- kunai 14y agoNope. The electoral college assigns "points" to each state based on its population. So rather than 50 equal points, we have 270. This kind of system is woefully outdated and allows for an unfair advantage in populated states. If the states had one point each, rather than being weighted through population, the result would be much fairer and not the clusterfudge of a mess it is right now.
- euroclydon 14y agoI must be missing something. Under your system, the smallest portion of the whole presidential vote a state could get is 1/50 or 0.02. Currently Wyoming accounts for 0.18% of the population and gets a 3/538 or ~0.006 portion of the vote. how is your system more fair?
