    And if that decided our elections, then I would be 100% in your side. Everybody in every state needs to vote, or they are in support of whomever wins. How many people in Mississippi would have voted if they knew they were going against the nationwide popular vote, and not just the republicans in their state?

      Honestly, if that is the only reason that motivates you to vote or not? I’d say approximately 1.214milliom.

        Your guess is as good as any! Democratic outreach would be 100% different than it is now. Instead of the random battleground states getting all the attention it would be a national “get out the vote” type campaign. I think it would be a much higher turnout.

        Either way, until then, I’d sooner blame the electoral college for Trump than the people in non battleground states that did not vote.
