100 Electoral College votes are given to just 18% of the population. That’s more than enough to swing presidential elections.

And yes, that’s much of flyover country, while the majority of the nation’s population is underrepresented in Congress and for purposes of the EC.

When 30% of Americans elect 70% of the Senate, and continue to be overrepresented in choosing the President, at some point, the remaining 70% of the population will have had enough of that shit.
