Yeah, it's pretty dumb. The popular vote is what should matter. That's the only way each vote counts as much as any other vote, which is like a basic principle of democracy.

Yes, but many people simply don't vote because they know their chosen party will win easily. By the numbers there are more Democrats than Republicans.
