Popular vote would be pretty easy to game, some candidate could say "those fucks in North Dakota are pumping that evil oil! we'll tax them hard, and we'll use the collected $$ to build solar panels in California, 100% free hospitals in Illinois and we'll make higher education free in NY!"...
upon hearing this great new proposal everyone in CA, IL and NY would jizz over themselves... then on election day, everyone in those states, including dead relatives and family pets would vote for the brilliant candidate who came up with that plan... so ND with perhaps 700k potential votes would get thrown under the bus, but that would be insignificant in comparison to the % of the 80M+ votes in those 3 states that would be gained...
