That'd be great!!!

I live in a deep red state. My vote won't matter as my states EC votes will go for the Republican candidate.

A popular vote would make my vote count finally.

It forces them to spend more money to keep the state red next time. Money they would rather use to win battleground states.

Yes I agree.. part of the problem here is we are so gerrymandered it won't matter for ages and ages.

Victors shouldn't be permitted to write the district voting rules.
