‘My opposition is based on the fact that my vote will now be the equivalent of having to jump off a bridge because a large number of stupid people jumped off a bridge.’
this happens now to every voter whose state allots winner take all electors to that voter’s opposing party...in a typical presidential election, 80% of the counties in PA vote republican, and Philly and Pittsburgh override the votes of those red counties...
Yes, but that is an IN state mechanism, not a NATIONAL mechanism, which I find much more destructive.
I look at the Presidential elections that happen every four years not as one giant national election, but as 50 separate state elections for President, which provides the buffer against the tyranny of large states against small ones.
