The number of tweets/words devoted to the Electoral College's small state bias is way out of line. It's just not the main reason why the system produces countermajoritarian outcomeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/upshot/electoral-college-votes-states.html …

I think 2000 should always be treated as an asterisk. If the votes in Florida had been counted by hand, Gore would have won the state. (Duval County uncounted overvotes were Gore votes.)

No one thinks that. Not even the NY Times. Liberal myths are fun.

This has only been up a couple of hours. You have time to remove it before more people see the error you made. The bulk of the "big states" did go for Trump, and he still was second in the popular vote (no one WON the popular vote)

I thought winning a plurality was “winning the popular vote.” My bad.

If Texas flips to Dems (50.1-49.9) with low voter turnout and the upper Midwest (MN, Wis, Mich, Oh) trends away from Dems with higher voter turnout this could happen

"Big states" is too cute by half. "Populous states" works better and doesn't sound like you are trying to obscure anything.
