      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

      Anyway, I believe the last incumbent president who wasn't on the ballot in all the states was Taft.

      Just imagine if, say, Mississippi had come up with an excuse to keep Barack Obama off the ballot.

      6. The California Democrat who was celebrating this plan has blocked me, but you will notice that its explicit intention is to discourage Republican voters from the polls. Which of course is fine with these folks https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1124130934985502720 …

      8. I see a bunch of folks on the Left have belatedly discovered this thread, so let's address some of the big ones here. This one is of the "but it's OK when we do it" variety. (Also, note: none of those efforts were ever passed by an entire State Senate) https://twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/status/1124653129025380352 …

      9. Actually, I used 2016 turnout in every state. And used that for a hypothetical https://twitter.com/_walteriv/status/1124697645409136640 …

      10. As I noted in my article, a candidate getting 54% of the vote in states he wins but almost zero in the states he loses is not simply a hypothetical. It is what actually happened in 1860 to a Republican named Abe Lincoln. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/04/what-the-electoral-college-saves-us-from/ …https://twitter.com/NICKinNOVA/status/1124690480158183427 …

      11. Actually, "States" is right there in the name of the country. And no, I don't think Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, Illinois & Ohio are just empty land with no people.https://twitter.com/MykeCole/status/1124682290905350150 …

      The person who has the most votes, Dan. It’s what we call “majority rule.” You’re in favor of “most land rule.” We have a name for that type of government. It’s called “feudalism.” https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1124323414720876549 …

      Your “counter argument” makes no sense. Myke is pointing out voters vote, not empty land. Yeah, Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania vote, but the populations aren’t crazy like CA and NY.

      Texas & Florida each have more people than NY.

          You’re right. Florida has 2 million more people and Texas has 9 million more than NY. CA still trumps them both by a large margin and CA + NY = 59 million people. FL + TX = 50 million. Still more people in NY and CA than FL and TX, which is my (and I believe, Myke’s) point.
