@AB48420889@TorreySmithWR There are more republican voters in California than in Texas. There are more democratic voters in Texas than New York. There are more republican voters in New York than Florida. Popular vote wouldn't give power to big states, it gives power to minority parties in safe states.
@perfctlyGoodInk@jmagnusj Its just that the group that first voted skewed that way. This isn't a scientific poll but shows how votes shift with voting method.
@beatmastermatt@axiochrono Correct, the poll is only representative of the people that know about the poll which in the beginning was a specific demographic. Getting it spread to a diverse group will yield better results.
@sciolisticism@gavinbena Correct, there's no incentive for "safe" states to switch to proportional, so it'd have to be a compact like National Popular Vote Interstate Compact

@SandiAnthony1@5starvoting@cardon_brian I just picked the main names I had seen mentioned in the news/twitter/threads/reddit. I'll be keeping track of other suggestions for future polls.
