In reply to the discussion: The electoral college- the greatest vote suppressor ever [View all]KMOD
(7,906 posts)32. 8 small western states
I know you are a proponent of popular vote, so I'm confused by the argument you are making. Your numbers show that 8 small western states had a voice in the electoral college that year. Perhaps you could clarify for me, because I'm missing your point.
And yes, 4 times I believe a President has won the election without winning the popular vote. 4 times in two centuries.
