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?

Your hypothetical seems fishy. I apologize and I will show myself out

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."

Why did he think this would be convincing? What am I not getting?

You don’t get the idea of states having a role in the United States of America.

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.
