    Ah, but is a significant enough amount of that majority located in the lowest population states to make it matter?

      From the article, maybe not:

      Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are far more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to support moving to a popular vote system for presidential elections (82% vs. 47%).

      I think the issue is if we get close to enacting this, partisan politicians will flood the channel with anti-popular vote propaganda, because they know every step towards a fairer system harms their chances.

      Is that a threat? Do we need to have government sponsored people movement into less populated states from left voting cities? Because I’ll fucking vote for that.

      You can bus all the immigrants you want to cities in blue states, and in equal exchange, we will bus lefty to sparsely populated states to render your votes blue.
