    gollark: There is not currently an automated mechanism for that.
    gollark: Apparently you can win the presidency with something like 30% of the popular vote via electoral college hax.
    gollark: The votes are divided by state, so states.
    gollark: The electoral college is really bad too, since it makes third parties more meaningless and encourages hyperfocusing on something like five states.
    gollark: Approval voting is simple and good, and not even subject to Arrow's theorem.
