DU please check my analysis.

Looking at the map of VA. provided by MSNBC one can see a landscape of red counties with blue counties basically up north. If VA. was a mini-electoral college model, with electoral college votes apportioned by county and population, Dems would have lost VA. But won the popular vote.

Is that accurate?

1. Good question and good point!

2. You are right

But Virginia looked the same way when Obama won it twice (2008 & 2012) and when HRC won it in 2016. Thats the way things are in VA. Urban areas usually go for Dems. Also true in large parts of the country. Take a look at California where HRC won by 4 million votes.

3. Which is a microcosm to prove what a SHIT idea the Electoral College is now. Nicely done! EOM

4. By population? No way, the blue areas are several times

More dense than the rural areas. We still would have won.

Nice try?

5. The less populated areas votes are weighted more though in the EC, right?
