If we remove just 1 county from each state, Trump would have won.

Yeah, the more people you disenfranchise, the easier it is for fascists to gain power. That being said, this is sort of like saying, "The USA would be Republican if it weren't for New York and California!"

Guess you can do the same exercise with Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election. Select some key counties and turn on the election. Pretty stupid exercise, for a pretty stupid election system.

When I first saw the blog post title, I assumed 2016 was where this was headed. Alas, my mind is tired of hearing of equality when there are people sleeping on the sidewalk and when swing-state and small-state Americans get an outsize role in running the place.

Sheesh folks it’s not like I like this system or that man or his opponent or that the electoral college laughs last or that the popular vote win was pretty big but could have easily been undone again.

Cant go showing this is might give people the idea that their vote matters and to show up and exercise their rights. Or perhaps u could do what us Aussies have done and have mandatory voting i would argue its the greatest thing we have done for democracy.

This is incredibly important to keep in mind as we enter election season, if you have the means please donate to on the ground campaigns in these or similar areas. Every bit helps

Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia.

Isn't that where all the fake electors came from and where TheOrange wanted to find just 11,780 votes?

The lefty dream?
