Imagine the power of the vote in Los Angeles county if we used a popular vote. LA County contains more voters than any of these states that are highlighted in BLUE.

Can your interests be represented in Washington if only urban centers have votes that count?
I believe this graphic shows the need to maintain our Electoral College system.
