The worst part in the american system is that a candidate can have less votes than another one but still lose to said candidate: if 26 states are 60/40 for prez 2 and 24 states are 100% for prez one then prez one has 3 440 votes and prez 2 has 1 560 votes. And prez 2 still wins. Thats how -blam!-ed up the system is. Prez 1 had more than twice what prez 2 has but prez 2 still wins because he's got 26 states and prez 1 only has 24 states. Do you see how stupid this is?

The World's not fair but if you want to bend things to your will you need two things, a Bible and tons of Illegally Laundered Money to Blow off on a Nation Sized Mercenary Force.

Your math is a little off but I completely agree with your stance. A president can win without winning the popular vote (George Bush for example), and that's ludicrous.

It's about population size lmao. FYI Cali has a much larger population than Rhode Island. Thus, we get more delegates and electorates.

Could you repeat that in English this time?

What you've described there hasn't got anything to do (specifically) with the Electoral College system, it's much more relevant to constituency-based FPTP systems (e.g. UK).
