This sounds fair to me, I have always thought that this was the ultimate way to elect a president. This way, no one state dominates, as each district in the country is equal to every other. Should have been done a long time ago.

Let's say that during an election, the East coast leads first. That the Democrat takes an early lead in the popular.

then according to this insanely stupid law, all the other states voting later in the Western time zones will go to the Democrat, even if the Republican wins all those remaining states. Simply because the early lead in the popular vote was established in the most populated states.

Mob Rule Socialism is all this is. Say goodbye to your Moderate Amerika. And the Republic!

“Majority rule” (or some would say mob rule) is not what this country was founded on.

We are not a simple democracy, The United States is a Constitutional Republic.

Look, even our legislative branch doesn't work like that. Little states get their two senators just like the largest states. How is that fair under your system?

If you went by your system (majority rule), Wyoming should probably only get about 1/8 on one senator and California should get additional 10-15! Thank God hat is not the case and we are not a simple democracy
