Biden only won 17% of the counties, thats is the lowest any president ever had.

here is a anylysis of the theoretical lowest number of counties needed to win... which would mean in theory you could become president with only winning 11, not percent but plain eleven counties in the whole USA and still end up being president. of course these numbers are driven to the max... but sure makes you love a voteing system based on 18th century circumstances... washington and his crew would be so mad that we still use this in modern times when we could do so much better.

but doubt the democrats will change it.. after all they won with 17% counties.. and the republicans love the electoral college... well not trump.. according to his tweets he hates the electoral college

I know it isn't going to happen with the republicans still controlling so many state legislations, but, why not have the popular vote decide? Originally US Senators were not elected by the popular vote, that was changed. Having so many presidents "elected," with less than the popular vote is disgracefully outdated, and unneeded.

@samueltyler2 just havign a popular vote is a step in the right direction... but that way we only swich from 18th century to 20th century tech...

we can have a much more sophisticated election system that would crack up the 2 party system and allow for fringe personalities with a vision to end up as president. there could be coalitions and blocks formed on actual topics and not where you have to buy the full package...

right now if you think guns and abortions are both fundamental rights to be protected you are in a pickle

@AngelofFail I absolutely agree. A third party now has no chance of success but ruins the potential for one of the other candidates. A rank order system attached to a popular vote would really be more of a true vote which equalized every person's vote value.
