Egads. 🙁 The American public is sooo ignorant of history. (Hmmm, I wonder if the public education system was intentionally engineered this way.) Can I just secede now?
This obsession with the popular vote still confuses me. I would think people would be more concerned with the bad block-voting aspect of presidential elections.
I would think states would want a plan like this: “This state agrees to apportion our electoral votes if enough other states agree to do the same.”
For example, in small states, the winner would generally get two electoral votes, and the loser would get one. That just seems fairer to me.
