"...if Minnesota had 26 less people in the 2020 census this map would be 269-269 instead of a Harris win... 26 people in Minnesota completely flip the outcome of the entire presidential election"

CUBA HAS BETTER REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY THAN THE COUNTRY THAT CLAIMS IT INVENTED DEMOCRACY, HANK

Without the electoral college it's tyranny of the majority. It's much better that elections get decided based on where a bad batch of condoms got shipped 25 years ago.

It's like the old saying goes, a census form is worth 8,962 ballots

Idk if this is true or not but it is extremely funny. This is definitely a very real and functional democracy.

Can you believe I actually know someone in real life who is a sincere 'land area should = vote proportionality' guy?

fake ass country

I had a lib in a “far left” Discord server refer to the electoral college as a “lesser known” aspect of US elections and explained it in depth as if no one knew about it. I told him about the Alabama Paradox and he said that’s why we needed to vote for Kamala even harder.

if we make the rules complicated enough, then it's not our fault when the system grinds children into a paste

This assumes NC and NV don't go Democrat which I'll believe when I see it.

Kraz, actually New York would have gotten that congressional seat. This means it would still be 270-268!

So many people here just don't understand how elections work

I think that’s complete bullshit. A different population means earlier rounds of apportionment will go different, not just that one round. Which means you can’t calculate the population difference for losing a seat within a single round of apportionment.

By my guessing and checking, MN loses a seat at 864 less population, not 26. As others have pointed out, it would lose that seat to NY, so no electoral difference in that map.

If aliens invaded and were made from Bismuth, its likely that the current administration would see an electoral boost unless it was full of compradors or something.
