I know, it's pretty cool how elections work, isn't it? The person who gets the most votes wins the state. A real novel concept dating back to the very first election. Of course they slipped in that electoral college thing awhile later but that's a story for another day.

The GOP has only carried the nationwide popular vote for president one time since 1988 and I doubt they'll ever do it again in my lifetime.

Well, that's how a direct election, majority wins, works. Do you believe labeling such a large population 'liberal' means that their votes should count for less, or that the result should be challenged solely on that basis?
