That is what I am asking.
I think that one of the benefits of electing the president by popular vote is that Republicans in strongly Democratic states and Democrats in strongly Republican states would come and vote.
Everyone should vote. And all votes should count in electing a president.
Trump lost by three million votes, 4.5 million or close to that in California alone.
Every vote should count in a presidential election.
On edit: I'm not suggesting that Californians are going to wage a rebellion to get an equal voice in electing the president, but one of the reasons we choose to be a democratic nation is that it is better for everyone if we elect our leaders democratically (one vote, one person) rather than through violence. It is important to the security of our nation that each voter's vote in presidential elections count equally.
It is easier to accept and live with and respect the outcome of a truly democratic election in which you know your vote was given the same respect as everyone else's vote than the outcome of a, as Trump stated so often said, "rigged" election in which someone else's vote counted more than yours.
Right now, our presidential elections are "rigged" so that the votes in some states count more than the votes in other states.
That's bad for the security of our nation.
