>>88042555>Actually looking at the EC it's the same situation. Remember Trump won states that haven't been red for decades.Florida was 50/49 in 2012, 51/48 in 2008, 47/52 in 2004 and 49/49 in 2000
Those same years, Pennsylviania was 51/46, 46/46, 48/42, and 45/43
Iowa--52/46, 53/44, 49/49, 48/48
Wisonsin -- 46/42, 48/41, 46/40, 44/38
Michigan -- 51/45, 49/44, 50/44, 42/38
Ohio-- 45/46, 40/43, 44/45, 48/47
Those are the states that flipped from blue to red to give Trump the win. Notice something? They're all really close historically. The reason those states could flip is there was only a few percentage points difference, so it was actually possible to influence the state one way or the other. The people in those states always had a vote because it was always possible to flip the state one way or the other
Compare that to my state--33/66 in 2012, 34/65 in 2008, 34/65 in 2004, 38/60 in 2000. My state is not close enough to ever
flip.It can only ever go one way. Voting for president here is completely worthless.
>See >>88042197see
>>88042367. all I want is for my vote to be as meaningful as anyone else's.
>popular vote will not fix that issueOk, see above, how in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, etc above the vote is always pretty close with only a few percentage points between the winner and loser? On a national scale it's generally like that as well, meaning it's actually possible to influence the vote one way or the other. In my state I have no such power.
