    Sounds like a good portion of the country is not represented and we need to do away with first past the post voting.

    More people voting means more democratic votes, so what’s the holdup blue states?

    What if Republicans want to not vote for Trump, but are tied to him because if they don’t vote for him the democrats win?

      Not just FPTP voting…the electoral college has to go, tok. Many people think “my vote doesn’t matter, my state is voting X anyway” and, in a way, they’re right. The electoral college makes our votes matter less.

      There’s also too many people who are barred from voting. For example, one of the most politically-active people I know can’t vote because he got a felony for possessing a half ounce of weed 15 years ago in college.
