      Except that our voting system makes that mostly irrelevant. California still had all their electors vote for Biden. Plus California has 10 million more people so that makes sense too.

        Yep. The best part of the U.S. constitution is the amendments. We should probably all spend some time thinking about that. Is our constitution good? The edits and polite suggestions are. The main bits are outdated, though, and were written by eloquent people who had the same knowledge of 2024 as we have for the year 2350.
