As far as the Presidency and Vice-Presidency are concerned, the overall popular v**e has never been thought of... Congressional Representation of each Individual State is the key, as the P**********l/Vice-P**********l e******ns are won thru an E*******l College based on each States' Congressional Representation...
When State Legislatures force their State E*******l College Representatives to cast their v**es for anyone other than their State's P**********l/Vice-P**********l winners, they are disenfranchising their own State's Citizens' choice... And disenfranchisement is tyranny...

Small states and swing states get more power.

It seems that, since they couldn't win the last p**********l e******n under the rules that have existed for almost 250 years, they want to change the rules. Below is an excellent explanation of why this is a very bad idea In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the E*******l College to ensure the States were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the E*******l College makes sense. It needs to be widely known and understood.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
T***p w*n 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
T***p w*n 46 of them.
Clinton won 16
Clinton won the popular v**e by approximately 1.5 million v**es.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan,Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more v**es that Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; T***p w*n Richmond).
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular v**e of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the v**e of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of
a national e******n.
Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!
