gollark: Eric's question about proportional responsibility, and what criterion do you weigh votes on?
gollark: You just introduced it for some reason.
gollark: I mean in general, not this particular case.
gollark: Do you think the electoral college does not do this?
gollark: > Because in Michigan, those particular cities usually decide the votes due to their high population. I'm going to call it "favouring rural people" if they get more voting power than they would if it was proportional to actual population.
