Senate Democrats had a total of 11m more votes in 2016 and 17.5m more in 2018. Donald Trump had 3m less votes in 2016.

This is not to say that they shouldn't be in office, but the will of the people is not the deciding factor in the Senate or Presidency. 

How about the will of the people over the geographical size of the USA?

 I don't want 3 or 4 major coastal cities deciding every election which is what would happen is the EC is done away with.  3/4+ of the Country is Red.

I wonder how our elections would look if each county in the USA got 1 electoral vote.  Based on a quick look at the map, Dems would not be winning anything anytime soon.

NY is actually a very red state controlled by a few Dem cities unfortunately.  Almost 7/8 of NY is red, yet we are controlled by Dems.

I didn't post the links for the articles, I posted them for the maps.  Didn't even look at the articles.
