Yes, I am O.K. with the President being chosen as the one who wins in the most counties.
Images do more justice demonstrating the true meaning of “a nation”, which is more than a mere summing of numbers of people.
The people come from villages, towns, cities, counties, regions and in the aggregate from the states, and all of it, the people, the villages, towns, cities and counties ARE collectively “the nation”.
Disregard too many places in “a nation” merely to satisfy a “national popular vote” and you have a growing belief it is not “one nation” any longer. Yes. Look at the map. There are now two nations within the territory of the United States and they keep growing more and more incompatible with each other.
Democrats would just create more counties.
