New York 22 electoral votes 4.1 mil votes Clinton 2.6 mil votes Trump California 55 electoral votes 7.2 mil votes Clinton 3.8 mil votes Trump Texas 38 electoral votes 4.6 mil votes Trump 3.8 mil votes Clinton Florida 29 electoral votes 4.6 mil votes Trump 4.4 mil votes Clinton Those states combined hold 144 electoral votes or 53% of the needed 270 to win. Those states votes add up to 19.5 mil votes for Clinton, and 15.6 mil votes Trump. Of the approximately 62.5 mil votes needed for the majority popular vote this election, these 4 states contributed 31% of that in the case of Clinton, and 24% of that in the case of Trump. If those states votes unanimously then, and only then would those votes add up 55% of the needed vote which means they would have more influence than they do under the electoral college, but that never happens. States almost never vote unanimously, especially the high population ones. So based on the [b][u]data[/u][/b] the electoral college actually gives those states much more influence in the election than a popular vote would. Maybe research the points you're making before you make them.

  • Exactly. It's just like how the larger states have more representatives in the House.
