Also, the electoral system sucks. I'm not even American but I'm pretty sure the main reason it operates like that is because, before modern technology, it was way easier to count the votes of a select group of people in one place rather than millions across the country.

But I read somewhere that Wyoming, for example, has a population of 584,000 people and 3 electoral college votes; meaning 194,667 votes is worth one electoral college vote in Wyoming. Meanwhile, California has a population of 38.8 million people and 55 electoral college votes; that means 705,455 votes for each electoral college vote. Essentially, a vote in Wyoming is worth 3.5x more than a vote in California.

I don't know if that's true because again, not American, but as far as I know the source is credible and US politics are a mess. Anyway, my heart goes out to all the people who are fearing for their lives right now in the US. I honestly didn't expect him to win but here we are.
