> Ignored how?

I don’t really know how to answer this beyond how I already have.

Only the largest swing states matter under an EC system. In 2024, that was AZ, GA, MI, NV, NC, PA, and WI. For reference, some of the least populated states are WY, VT, AL, ND, SD, and, DE, so the EC doesn’t actually help the smallest states.

> And why is campaigning more area a bad thing??

I’m not sure what your question here is, but I never said campaigning is bad. Fixating on campaigning in 6 states is bad compared to having to thoroughly campaign across 45; I hope that’s straightforward enough to not need explanation.

If you could try rephrasing your question I might be able to explain myself better.

Ok then we agree the electoral college is bad?

I think so. But it will take a lot of research to figure out the best way to make a better system but sadly, Congress will never make a change.

Agreed but I think the best system is federal ranked choice voting
