Ohio has 11 million people. There is no reasonable argument that Chicago will make all our decisions if you got rid of the electoral college. The math ain't mathin.
Yes, and 46% of those people voted blue. Stack those blue Midwest votes on top of the NE, Mid-Atlantic, Chicago and the West Coast and it's over before it started. And the NE, Mid-Atlantic, Chicago and California will have the most power.

And that's what the left wants. Absolute control. If that happens...

Yeah, but see, that's not an argument, unless the argument is people shouldn't get to vote or their vote shouldn't count if they don't vote the right way. Which is the way Republicans are trending, so I guess it tracks.

Meanwhile...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/30/politics/supreme-court-virginia-noncitizen-voting-purge/index.html

"But voting rights groups pointed to evidence that Virginia’s voter purge effort had also caught up citizens who were eligible to vote."

Evidence... yeah, OK. 

How about absolute proof?

Like absolute proof that there is a conspiracy for vote machines to change people's votes to Democrat?

You know what I meant. You have the coastal elites and Chicago.

That would be it.

Yes. Basically exactly as it is now except electors are awarded by the proportion of the vote instead of winner takes all
like Nebraska

You only addressed one part of my post. Anyway...

I believe everyone should vote, and that their vote should count. Everyone should believe this. Trending? Where do you come up with this?

As a reminder, I'm not a Republican. I am a Reagan Conservative, I guess, as is my wife, who lived in California when Reagan was governor there.

Who said that?

Someone here had it happen to them and is now skeptical and discouraged.

At least that's my interpretation.

like Nebraska
Sort of, it's not a true proportional system but it does split them. Correct me if I'm wrong but they give two votes to the winner of the state and one for each Congressional district. Nebraska went 58/39 by the popular vote and 4:1 by the electoral vote. But you can see the incentive a proportion would make - a few votes more for Biden would make it a 3:2 split.
