    This scenario literally happens in some statewide races for offices like governor, replacing states with counties, and strangely we abide by the popular vote within the statehttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1124323414720876549 …

    I used this hypothetical example: R candidate wins 48 states by identical 54-46 margins, D wins CA, NY & DC by 75-25 margins, D wins national popular vote. Who should win? pic.twitter.com/832nMi9j88

        This. Profiles of red CDs tend to be the same: rural and/or rustbelt, no jobs, crummy infrastructure. Any kids w brains leave after high school. And white, white, white. These people have so many fixable problems, & the Repubs they vote for don’t do squat for them.*

        This also happens for states awarded EC votes and we don’t just award states to whoever had the most cubic feet of color

        The Supreme Court case of Reynolds v Sims made it a constitutional requirement for states to apportion offices based on the principle of "one man, one vote." https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/377/533 …

        No one ever seems to argue that the person who wins the most votes for state-wide office isn't the "real" winner, so I'd say pretty well.

        The idea that we should elect presidents based on who won the most space, rather than who won the most votes, is absurd.

        I'd be interested if @baseballcrank believes states should adopt an electoral college-like system, in which a party that wins huge vote totals in a couple urban counties and loses everywhere else should lose, even if they get more votes?

        It’s so unfair in a democracy that heavily populated areas have lots of voters.🙄
