I loathe the idea that only a handful of states matter in this election. Instead of trying to appeal to the most people in this country, period, we have this ridiculous system where only a few people in a few states matter.
People living in California - their votes are just written off. Think of it: the state with the most people in it simply doesn’t count in our Presidential election. So very absurd.
I mean, in the unlikely event that 99% of Dems in California stayed home the State would turn either turn red or give a bunch of electoral votes to a third party candidate, seriously hurting the Dem candidate’s chances with the Electoral College.
But yes - the problem with the Electoral College is that the power of individual voters is unequal, and varies depending on where you live.
