Have you heard of compromise? Romney wasn't a perfect candidate for rural voters, but he was pretty good for them, and he had a real chance of winning both the popular and the electoral vote. Or are you just saying that the minority should rule because you agree with their views? |

Not true. You read it wrong, so let me correct you. They are still sending electors to select the president, in the same number as they did before.So you said they had 9? (I don't care enough to look it up, the state is too small). Zero people can vote, and Nevada will send 9 delegates to vote for whomever NY, California, and whatever dead people in Chicago voted for. Everyone in Nevada can vote for Bob Corker. But if NY, Florida, California, and Michigan votes for racist Talib. Nevada will send it's electors to the dual-loyalty princess Talib. Unless if Nevada is doing it slightly different than it's neighbor. In that case, it's still Nevada, so I don't still don't care about them. I found the neighboring states law as abhorrent and unconstitutional when they did it. Nevada is going to side with this. A friggin minority:  People who voted for Trump:  Smart |

What you just showed is not the people who voted for Trump, but the land which voted for Trump. Except that land can't vote. Or are you saying that a person who lives in a sparsely populated area of the country is more important than someone who lives in a more densely populated area? |

If more people move there, the electoral college would stop being so inequitable. The problem is, that most people don't want to live there. As time goes on, more people will live in a smaller number of states. What worked in 1787 doesn't work anymore. |

Look at Romney: The then-Republican Party went for a compromise candidate who was supposedly "electable," and lost. Then in 2016, when their party elected an orange demagogue who was supposedly completely unelectable and was certainly significantly more unpalatable to the other side than Romney, he won. |

It's not a minorities. Most of the country is empty space, accept it. Land doesn't vote.The whole idea is that if the NPVIC comes into effect, it won't matter who wins the vote in Nevada. The Electoral College becomes a procedural formality |

So basically if there's no Electoral College, the rest of the country will be forever like a republican voter in New York City. Against all of the democratic politicians, but he will never ever ever win, subjected to a lifetime of politics. He wants nothing to do with. |
