The way they sell it around here, it’s about money.
I couldn’t quite get the logic, but they were saying that with the current system - the Constitutional one - the politicians didn’t even come to states like NY to stump because they either knew they had the lock (dems) or knew it was a waste of time and money (reps).
Sooooo therefore, if we had a popular vote then both sides would be on equal footing and would spend lots more money in each state trying to win the hearts of the populace.
Yep, it’s that simple. The way to suddenly put your party in play in a hostile state is to run around cascading cash. Once you do that, you will have an equal chance in a popular vote.
