But it isn't equitable because presidential candidates only ever pay attention to swing states.
And people should be represented equally. The location of a citizen shouldn't effect the strength of their voice.
Ever single other public office in the U.S is voted by popular vote. If there were problems with it then why don't we have mini electoral colleges for each seat? The president should be a popular vote, no different than any other office.
If it was population based, they'd only pay attention to large populations.
Don't get me wrong, I continue not to care.
Theres only one population, the US population
