For the umpteenth trillionth millionth time, the electoral college HELPS popular votes in non-large states count. Michigan and Ohio and Kentucky and many other states wouldn't count for squat if one candidate could grab California plus Florida plus Texas plus New York. You think it's bad now, well, go for a strict popular vote. Hope the people in North Dakota don't care who runs the show in Washington.

Electoral College keeps New Yorkers from screwing over Iowa.
