re: #195 sagehen

Because they heard us whining about the electoral college advantage of rural states, they’ve seen 2000 and 2016 go to the candidate with less popular vote because of that rural-state advantage…. and they thought it would happen again. (I was concerned about it too; not an unreasonable expectation)

That almost makes me wonder if rural states should divide their electoral votes the way Nebraska and Maine do. In 2020, both states split their electoral votes between Biden and Trump.

However, the GOP in undivided states aren’t going to do that; it would be suicide. The GOP is on record here saying they want to abolish the divided electoral college in Nebraska (they don’t have the votes to get that though).
