    The D. People have agency and land does not. If there was one Democrat living on the Atlantic ocean (which has just become a state in this scenario), and the whole ocean was thus D-colored blue because of one vote, would someone who endorsed spatial elections think D should win?https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1124323414720876549 …

    Dan McLaughlinVerified account @baseballcrank
    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

        The other infuriating thing about this spatial representation arguments is the stripping of voice from minority-party voters in 48 states. That’s 46% there. Why shouldn’t their voice count?

        Replying to @bencampo @epicciuto

        As noted in the 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."

        A much more likely scenario than whatever Dan was trying to show here is that a candidate wins a small plurality of votes in the minimum number of states needed to win the EC and loses the overall popular vote by something like 20 million.

        If 18 million of that 20 million are single issue voters, voting for government benefits in population dense areas, then that’s ok. I would consider decades of failed policies in order to create generations of voters to gain power a coup, not democracy.
