    Close election. States want to secede. But Obama's pop-vote margin over Romney was 38x Kennedy/Nixon, 8x Nixon/Humphrey, 1.4x Bush/Kerry

        @neiltyson but if we let someone secede it will make it so much easier to fit Puerto Rico’s star on the flag.

        @neiltyson I say take all the people who want to secede, put them in Texas & replace it with Puerto Rico. Bonus: Flag stays the same.

        @neiltyson That's the pop vote under the current voting structure. What's the effect on pop vote if we eliminate the electoral college?
