Yes, that is in fact how your voting system works. not really otherwise trump wouldn't have gotten elected. California votes left hard because the right wing rural people occupying the other half are sparse. If you live in the middle of nowhere, your votes are invalidated by the cities. thats why we have the electoral college. so the 3 biggest cities don't decide every election. But allowing the candidate lose the popular vote yet still win doesnt reflect the will of the people. we don't go be a complete democracy aka mob rule. we have it set up so all areas get somewhat of a voice even if they have a lower population. goes way back to when the states argued about not having enough power because they had smaller populations I believe. --- Cid- "looks like that overgrown lobster just got served!"
