Thing I just calculated: the worst case result for the electoral college is that you could capture 78% of the popular vote and still lose.

mayyyyybe we need to renegotiate this

It could be worse with degenerate case of a single voter in the small states. I assumed the same voter turnout we saw in each state in 2020.

Here's the state map!

With the 2020 turnout, if each blue state went 100% blue and red state went 50% + 1 vote red, it would have been 124.2M to 34.6M.

One surprising fact from this was learning which states have the lowest number of electoral college votes per voter:

• Florida (2.60E-6)
• North Carolina (2.68E-6)
• Colorado (2.73E-6)
• Michigan (2.88E-6)
• Pennsylvania (2.90E-6)

…some of the highest impact states!
