"The popular vote would silence rural voters!"
Yes? Good? And?
Like, look. I live in Texas and my vote basically doesn't count for anything, ever so I sympathize with people in rural areas who aren't white supremacist douchebags.
But like 90% of them are and they keep voting for Republicans, who ignore their problems.
And these are the people who complain loudest about popular vote systems because they want their vote to count for more than everybody else's.
And no?
