They have enough money that they don’t care about their taxes. They don’t hunt or shoot guns, so they don’t care that Abrams wants to ban them. They don’t care about anything other than keeping their liberal, hipster neighborhoods as liberal, hipster, & WHITE as they can. And, as with most states in the US, the folks in the densely populated cities, make the rules for the rest of the state. Pick any state that leans to the Left and pretty much the entire state can be described as, RED, the cities described as, BLUE, and the BLUE folks make the rules.

Exactly the situation here in the People's Republic of New York and why the Electoral College is yet another example of the brilliance of the Framers in providing something so vital to the continued life of the country. More and more, we need one in each state as well.

If there was some type of state level, Electoral College, this country would be completely different. The Founders, in all their glorious genius, knew what was coming. Amazing men.

I’m curious to know what would the last election would have looked like, for the President, if the states WEREN’T, All or Nothing, with how they give their electoral votes.

If I’m not mistaken, Maine had a referendum vote on this. Not sure how it ended up. States like California wouldn’t be able to swing an election the way they do now, nor Ohio, Penn, Michigan, etc. That way the cities can’t dictate how the rest of the state is run. Places those city dwellers do not go. Just think about how the people of Colorado, Washington, Oregon, New York, California, and Illinois would benefit.
