If you look at population of CA, TX, NY, Fl, IL, they have more population then the other 52 states combined. If you were a politician where would you spend your money and which states would you pass favorable legislation?

If anything we'd see more of a swing. Repubs and democrats don't really have a reason to go to California. It's not like they hit a lot of stops in South Dakota. Wouldn't it be better if more of the resources happen for most of the people? I'll drop it now, just seems silly to me that we don't do the popular vote.
