I was trying to show buckshat that worrying about 2 counties outdoing 19 states is silly as just the ignored GOP vote in CA alone outdid 10 GOP vote winning states. That was what i was trying to get at, that there are a lot of GOP voters in CA and he should want their numbers.
How is this worse than having 2 counties having more influence than half the states in the Union? It isn't, in any sane scenario. If you want to petition your state to have some sort of proportional EC system you go right ahead.Just for shits and giggles i did the math. California republicans who's voice wasnt heard at ALL had more numbers that 10 republican states combined. Ouch. Imagine how many republicans in CA that didnt even bother voting had voted due to popular vote.
Wyoming
South Dakota
North Dakota
Montana
Idaho
Alaska
W. Virginia
Utah
Mississippi
All those states voting GOP population was less the the ignored CA voting GOP....
Actually it is 2 counties outweighing 25 states.I was trying to show buckshat that worrying about 2 counties outdoing 19 states is silly as just the ignored GOP vote in CA alone outdid 10 GOP vote winning states.

Why don't you want to see popular vote?Actually it is 2 counties outweighing 25 states.
Why don't you want to see popular vote?
Same reason the founders didn't. Do you really think 2 urban counties should override 25 entire states?Why don't you want to see popular vote?
That has nothing to do with it and the GOP was already supposed to not be able to win.Probably cause he knows the GOP would never win again...well you know..unless they get a better message that resonates with more people...but that would be silly to do that...
You keep spouting that broken, tortured logic about margins.Same reason the founders didn't. Do you really think 2 urban counties should override 25 entire states?
The GOP was already not supposed to be able to win the popular vote? And you think that has nothing to do with a shitty party platform? If they changed their message maybe they'd fair better in the popular vote department.That has nothing to do with it and the GOP was already supposed to not be able to win.
Having seen enough of your posts and knowing you lack honor, honesty and integrity. I really can't say i support your "principles" whatever they may be at this moment after the election. I'm sure they'll corrode into something different if the need or want arises.

With the EC, they focus all their attentions on states that could go either way.
I doubt that you know any MA Repubs who actually vote who leave the presidential selection blank. Well, other than never trumpers.
You have to remember that a huge portion of California's population aren't eligible to legally vote. Of course that doesn't mean they didn't vote, it only means they can't vote legally.Population of Wyoming: 584,000. EC votes: 3
195,000 residents/EC
GSP: $40.2B (0.2% of US GDP)
Population of California: 38,800,000 EC votes: 55
705,000 residents/EC
GSP: $2,448B, (14% of us GDP)
Residents of Wyoming votes count 3.6x what a Californian's count for, meanwhile California's GSP/resident is over 60x what a Wyomingite contributes to the country.
How is this any sane way to run a democracy or an economy?
This is how you get issues like coal mining, destroying clean energy policy and kicking out minorities on the winning ticket.
So basically because your horse lost you would rather change the system to have the focus be on areas which are heavily democratic to increase your chances instead of giving adequate representation to smaller less populated states...mmm ok.
And with the republicans I know here, most didn't vote as they know like I do it is a waste of our time in this state.

You might want to look at my spreadsheet I posted that debunks your arguement. Small states are way more represented currently than populous states. The amount of representatives hasn't kept up with population growth in years.So basically because your horse lost you would rather change the system to have the focus be on areas which are heavily democratic to increase your chances instead of giving adequate representation to smaller less populated states...mmm ok.

It's too bad that in the real world where it counts, Democrats insisted in shoving a candidate through to the rest of us that even Trump could beat.
Lick your wounds and learn your lessons, foremost would be stop doing the wrong things harder with candidate people don't want. Both candidates were more disliked than liked and "the big bad Republicans" is a diversion from Democrat failure.
People get convicted of voting fraud every 2 years. Can you show me any conviction of Bigfoot? Ever?If you believe in voter fraud you might as well believe in bigfoot as well. Both propositions have near equal factual evidence in support.
