And if we took out Texas Trump would be in the dumps. Your point?

While I agree that the Electoral College system has some issues, I also believe that without a winner take all system you'd have a democracy where your vote doesn't really matter if you don't live in one of the two most concentrated population centers in the country.

A winner take all system makes every minority vote literally pointless. If we did it by district that would make a lot more sense.

As it is, at least we have a bit more diversity by doing things geographically, because otherwise even a large state like Texas would be marginalized in every future election just because Dallas or Houston don't have the same level of population density as L.A.

One man, one vote. More people, more votes. It's pretty simple.
