1 (one) vote may not count for all that much out of millions of votes, but
what if
all of the people who think that their 1 (one) vote doesn't count don't
vote?

Elections can, and are, lost because of all the individuals who think that
their 1
(one) vote doesn't count.

If only the "popular vote" was counted, then every vote would count. But
the way everyone's vote is compartmentalized into states (the "electoral
college" scam), all it takes is one person voting in each state to determine
the winner.

Example: You want to vote for candidate Tweedle Dee, but you say **** it I
don't feel like voting. Your state goes for Tweedle Dee, but candidate
Tweedle Dum wins the election.

Explain to me again how "every vote counts". Your vote would have made
absolutely no difference at all, because of the "electoral college"
bull****. If popular votes counted, then your vote COULD have made a
difference.

The fact that it is possible get the most actual votes, yet lose the
election is proof that the "electoral college" bull**** is an absurd way to
elect a national leader. The person with the most votes should win, not
based on where those votes came from.

But then the power would all be concentrated in the states with major population
centres.

You Liberal/Democrat/Marxists need to stop whining.

No, just exactly the opposite.

Popular vote would give every person in the USA *exactly* the same
vote for president in a single national election.
Whereas the electoral college OVER-REPRESENTS low-population states,
because they get 3 "FREEBIE" electoral votes no matter how small the
state population is. Theoretically, a state could have 1 resident
with 3 electoral votes, to take the silly extreme, vs. a tiny fraction
of a millionth of an electoral vote in a large state.

It may come as a revelation, but a lot more people live in cities and
surrounding suburbs, than live in rural areas.
States with big population centers also have more voters who need
represented.
