(109,032 posts)in Hillary's plurality should have had their votes counted for NOTHING? Because that's what happened.
And you think Hillary should have paid more attention to Wisconsin. What about all the blue states? And even the red states? Why is it fair that candidates spend so much more time in the states that are viewed as "swing states"? That only happens because of the Electoral College.
It doesn't matter that Wisconsin is a bigger state NOW. The Electoral College was built to give smaller and more rural states a disproportionate amount of power, in order to uphold the system of slavery. We are stuck with that vestige of slavery even though slavery itself was abolished long ago. We should have disbanded the Electoral College at the same time. If we did have a popular vote, like other modern democracies, DT wouldn't be President.
