So what happens when the nationwide popular vote is only separated by a few thousand votes, then you have to recount every single ballot in the whole county, as opposed to only recounting the ballots in one state.

Why then the most corrupt state finds enough votes for the candidate they like. Being pro-corruption, the Democrats favor such a system. They don't like photo IDs either.

Even worse is that rampant vote fraud in any one state can overwhelm the results in the others.

As it stands now, regardless of the the margin in California (for example), only the electoral votes for California are at risk.

But the "Popular Vote" initiative allows the cheaters in one state to "run up the score" enought that none of the votes in many smaller states will matter at all.

Let us all hope that none of the other (and necessarily smaller) states are dumb enough to follow.
