But “president by ten arbitrarily contested states out of 50+ DC” *is* how we elect presidents. (The states may change, but not the logic.) In a country of 200 million eligible voters spread across a continent and beyond, that’s shrewdly empowering to we, the people!https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1167951035127582720 …
You may have me confused with someone else. I've typically worked with actual election results (eg, 1888, 1860) or a state-by-state hypothetical where the Democrat loses 48 states by identical 54-46 margins using 2016 turnout. My argument doesn't depend on county results.

But you have indeed reproduced that silly map asked who would win such an election. I’ve engaged on it! Others did. Maybe you regret that, but you have done it.

Ok, right maybe you did the 54-46 silly hypothetical instead. Which is a marginally more sophisticated version of the same fatuous (il)logic, to which the answer is, “All votes should be equally weighted and the candidate with the most votes wins.”
