That's because of a curious artifact known as the Electoral College.

We wouldn't have a Constitution without the Electoral college. It is the concept of Federalism that the author forgets. Without the Electoral College, the Dems would be the permanent majority party. The Dems have won the popular vote in five out of the last six elections with Obama winning the two highest vote totals.

Thanks to mass immigration and minority birthrates, the Dems are on the cusp of being the permanent majority party. Elimination of the Electoral College will seal the deal. No Dem would waste their time in Flyover country and the small states. They would concentrate on the urban areas and build up huge margins of voters there.

Without the Electoral College the president would be elected almost entirely by the same large, population dense urban areas that have been electing Democrat local officials for the past 50 yearsm
