The argument is that within each state it would make more sense if electoral votes were divided up by % population voted . I agree , a 51 % win is true democracy , but currently , the Electoral College makes it so that 51 % wins all within the state , then 51 % wins all within the Electoral College , which unrepresentative of how the states truly voted . 100 % of Illinois did not vote Clinton , but the EC sees it as 100 %. So currently , since Clinton won ~ 19 states , she won 38 % of the vote . Which is egregiously wrong . <| sep |> Thanks , good to know <| sep |> You most certainly do . <| sep |> Also really interested in this comparison ! <| sep |> Foster guitars are pretty mainstream . <| sep |> anything good though ?
