I remember liking the Star Trek: The Next Generation LCD handheld game. Was it good? No, probably not. Definitely not by today’s standards. But in a pre-Gameboy era, the bar for handheld games was pretty low.
The four most populated states aren’t anywhere near enough for a majority, let alone four counties.
And isn’t it a problem with the current system that votes in a handful of swing states matter far more than votes elsewhere? In a popular vote, every vote is equally important regardless of where you live.
