      Also, counting "national popular vote" for the Senate ignores the fact that California has a system modeled on Jim Crow Dixiecrat systems that keeps Republican candidates off the November ballot.

          Also, aggregating it across multiple elections is additionally complicated because general election years have higher turnout.https://twitter.com/fredbauerblog/status/1315734912817926145 …

          Another problem with the "national popular vote" argument for Senate midterms: In 2018, Democratic incumbents had 24 of the 33 seats up for reelection. The Senate maps in a given year often aren't representative of the nation's political composition as a whole.

          If the complaint is that the voter in California has less power than a voter in Wyoming, the proper, and constitutional solution is to break up California.

          Or combine those low population states where very few people except those born there, wants to live. Constitutionally of course.

          Yup, that is 11 million combined Democratic votes between 2 Dem candidates -- or most of the national party gap.

          But that’s precisely the problem with the argument that voters gave Reps a mandate on this issue by expanding their representation in the senate in ‘18. There was no way any other outcome was going to happen.
