It's a national office. It's not a state office. State totals should have zero to do with determining a national leader. The state you live in should have nothing to do with your vote for president....Nothing. Just like the city you live in should have nothing to do with your vote for the Governor of your state. When you vote for a member of congress, all the votes in that Congressional district are counted up. You don't count up areas won within that congressional district. Let's face it. The Electoral College is loved by the South because they don't want their minority "Buckwheat" votes to count, and they don't count.
