      This scenario literally happens in some statewide races for offices like governor, replacing states with counties, and strangely we abide by the popular vote within the statehttps://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1124323414720876549 …

      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

      I'd be interested if @baseballcrank believes states should adopt an electoral college-like system, in which a party that wins huge vote totals in a couple urban counties and loses everywhere else should lose, even if they get more votes?

          It’s so unfair in a democracy that heavily populated areas have lots of voters.🙄

          No what would be unfair is to have those few heavily populated areas make policy for everyone else.

          Semi-related observation—269-269 with House voting by state delegation to install Trump is a shockingly likely outcome. Ds flip MI, WI, ME-2 or NE-2 (which was very close), don’t flip anything else (I.e., WI).
