    1. This is a sequel post; LINK to my 2020 Election map

      EDIT: The Oregon count is incorrect. The vote in Oregon split 56/41 which would mean a 5/3 split in Harris’ favor (credit to u/PuzzheheAlps11 for catching the error).

      It’s just democrats and republicans. Either way Americans lose

    3. It says a lot that even with Normal elections 99% of the population would still vote for 2 parties.

      You Americans have serious problems!

      Note: I believe that with normal votes the 3rd and 4th parties would have more seats but I still find it striking that the non main parties are basically ghosts.

      But she won the popular vot- wait what?! Reddit assured me that Republicans only win due to trickery.

      Well, it’s not direct prop-rep since you still have electoral votes per state which is not proportional to population exactly. But that map would be unnecessary.

      Ah yeah the Maine and Nebraska way.

      Funnily enough 538 said that this map would favor Republicans even more. They would get a ton of electoral votes from CA and NY.

      They’re all purple. Winner-takes-all is such a kindergarten idea.

    8. Not true. Many people don’t vote in heavy red/blue states because they think their vote is worthless. And many do vote in swing states because they think their vote is more powerful.

    9. Except that you didn’t take into account how votes would have changed if this was how votes would be allocated.

      (For example, people who did not vote for person Y because “my state goes to person X anyway” might have voted.)

      All this really confirms is that the two-party system is so deeply entrenched that there’s no feasible pathway for a 3rd party to even convincingly penetrate the discourse.

      I feel like they didn’t have to put NH blocks in the Atlantic.

      how about we abolish the fucking electoral college and institute something more sensible like… a real democracy??? I’ll even settle for the popular vote at this point tbh but anything but this archaic shit

      Thanks for this.

      What I think is important is that Republicans can still win under a proportional representation system. Conservatives seem to think that electoral reform is some liberal Trojan Horse to enshrine a permanent advantage for the Democratic Party. It would not.

      It would just give advantage to whoever wins the most votes from the whole We The People. Not the most votes from people within the correct random lines on the maps.

      This is the easiest way to adjust the Electoral College to be better representative.
