Personnel

gollark: I don't think that's what the electoral college does.
gollark: There's probably some nice mathematical definition based on mutual information or something like that, but roughly "altering one vote has the same effect on average on a nationwide election regardless of where the voter is".
gollark: What I meant to mean is that the electoral college is clearly not making people's votes equal in power.
gollark: Yes, sorry, that is why I corrected that.
gollark: * representative → equal across people
