lucky the US isn't a democracy huh
What's the point in voting in Wyoming, Idaho
yea
My problem is that the minority party of a state is basically silenced
Exactly
I wonder whats the highest amount of popular vote you can lose by to still win the electoral college
around 21%
you avoid the big 9 and barely most of the remaining and you get 270
21.91%
where'd u pull that percentage from
So what would that be in vote count?
21.91% popular vote, and wining the EC
VEP?
CGP Grey's video
200 million is the VEP count i think
so like 42 million
I think the electoral college really makes a campaign more necessary
yeah agreed
Nobody would ever visit Wyoming or Idaho
The candidates would be like 'fuck you, you have no impact on me'
They'd all be visiting LA and NY
Nobody visits Idaho and Wyoming
Electoral college makes sure you work in every state
True but those states have the smallest population counts
Not smallest but small
I don't see how this is a problem
We have social media
Not everyone uses it
it's a different feeling when your canidate comes to your state
Ok
Anyway, this hasn't worked
Candidates only visit swing states
not true
Trump visited my state, MD, multiple times but it went double digits for Clinton
and it's only 10 votes

You want to give me an election night example, and I'll make a map over it
This is a map of campaign visits in 2016
Wait
I can't send it on here
