zoogs Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ah. I’m not arguing for the EC, as you know. Someone posted a while ago saying that without it the big, very blue metro areas of the US would just outvote the entire rest of the country. And well, yeah, they can do that, but if they do then it’s more people in the country at the end of the day. Right now living in NYC means your vote just doesn’t count for as much as if you lived in Wyoming. And that’s a lousy deal which can be called many things, but maybe not “democratic”. Link to comment

They would only "outvote" anyone in terms of the number of people voting. As far as what matters, who they're voting for, that makes no kind of sense. The rural population is 20% of the country. Clearly there are plenty of people in cities voting for the same parties as people in rural areas. The city folks aren't "outvoting" the rural when it comes to parties. 1 Link to comment
