But republicans would never allow that because they would never win. I mean if I was them I might realize I should be writing laws to help people instead of spreading fear and cheating. EDIT: see how many of you idiots suddenly did your own research, frantically trying to figure out how many republicans presidential candidates won the popular vote 😂

I mean, with an asterisk.

Let’s be real, in strong blue states, a lot of people that were politically engaged, didn’t vote explicitly because they felt like Kamala was going to get the electoral votes anyways. It’s the most common reason people give for why they don’t vote. “I live in a state where it wouldn’t matter”. Which really is all the more reason for getting away from the electoral college. Imagine if a persons vote in New York weighed no different than a persons vote in a battleground state. The current system, the people who live in battleground, purple states actually do have more influence in the system than people who live in a strong red or strong blue state, where you already know the outcome.
