So?
The Constitution doesn't mention abortion.
So?
When it comes to the Constitution, be careful what you wish for...give to much power to California New York, Texas & Florida and places like Vermont, New Hampshire, Wyoming & Connecticut could very well be disenfranchised...
from CNN:
Most states (except for Maine and Nebraska,
which split some of their electoral votes) give all their electoral votes to the person who wins the popular vote in that state. There are very Democratic parts of Texas and very Republican parts of California, for instance. But unless those states move to apportion their electoral votes differently, it is only the state popular vote that really matters.
...A popular vote system certainly would be simpler to understand.
However, as proponents of the Electoral College point out, if you thought that recount in Florida in 2000 was nasty, imagine a nationwide recount of more than 130 million votes. THAT would be messy. And it could happen. Some states have automatic recounts for elections that are separated by less than .1% In 2016, with 136 million voters, that would have been a margin of around 136,000 votes. You can imagine a recount in the
razor-thin election of 1960, which featured a
less-than .2% difference in vote totals, but a solid Electoral College victory for John F. Kennedy.
