gollark: You just get politicians focusing on a small subset of states which have lots of EC votes and are not always going to be a majority for one party.
gollark: So it does not, in fact, provide equally powerful voices per state.
gollark: > Why should states remain in the nation if they aren't having an equally powerful voice? For example, why should Iowa stick around if they're just subservient to California's whims?Don't different states have different amounts of electors?

gollark: If you want representation to be based on rural-ness or not and not, well, actual vote count, it should be structured more sensibly.
