    Trust me, I know. County v county and whichever side has more counties gets the state, then whichever gets more states gets the win. Instead of something reasonable like population, this makes rural areas almost guaranteed to beat urban areas.

    I’m American too and the election system here has always been awful. Unfortunately we’re taught that it’s ‘the only way’ or whatever the power-mongers would say.
