so in a popular vote contest, california alone would've overrided the will of 49 other states. simple as that. all because it has that massive concentration of illegals that literally turned the big red state blue over the past 20 years. documented fact.
can you imagine a recount election in a national popular vote? you have to recount all 50 states! & you only have to commit fraud in 1 huge state to win the whole thing. imagine having every state in the nation doing recounts due to a super-close race? thats crazy! with 2000, 1 state had to recount, not all 50...
in a popular vote, its a lot more easy to steal an election rigging 1 big state, vs rigging 50 states running their own elections.
just use facts when replying kane, not hypotheticals. thanks.

I used a simple fact called Math.
I stand by my numbers. If a candidate got 100% of the vote in Cali, Texas, Florida, and New York they would only get about 37 million votes. We are spread out enough around this country that any candidate would have to wage a national campaign in order to get enough total votes to win.
Our cities are also diverse enough now that people of all types live there. Look at California. Trump admits he didn't even bother campaigning there because he knew he couldn't win yet he still got about 30% of the vote. If he actually campaigned there he likely could have gotten 40% or even more of the vote. At the same time, Hillary didn't campaign much in Texas for the same reason and she got 40% of the vote there.
Thinking that one big city or state could control a general election is simply wrong. The math doesn't support it.
I will admit, if the election were very close and a recount had to happen, it would likely be a much bigger pain in the ass, but we are smart, I'm sure we could figure something out.
