Democracy in America doesn't work on popular vote, rather, it works on the electoral college. This means that in states, whichever president was voted more would count as 1 vote towards that president. This means that technically, the US only has 52 votes in total. This is definetely not a fair result. We should be able to have popular vote, because, well, it's a democracy! We should be working on the interests of the majority, not the minority. However, because we have many big states, such as California, that are majorly liberal, small states won't have much say in what happens in the USA.
