If we remove just 1 county from each state, Trump would have won.

Yeah, the more people you disenfranchise, the easier it is for fascists to gain power. That being said, this is sort of like saying, "The USA would be Republican if it weren't for New York and California!"

Guess you can do the same exercise with Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election. Select some key counties and turn on the election. Pretty stupid exercise, for a pretty stupid election system.

When I first saw the blog post title, I assumed 2016 was where this was headed. Alas, my mind is tired of hearing of equality when there are people sleeping on the sidewalk and when swing-state and small-state Americans get an outsize role in running the place.
