Is this thread about the getting rid of the Electoral College or about me?
128,838,342 votes were cast for either Clinton or Trump in 2016.
4% of those were in Illinois.
6% of those were in New York.
10% of them were in California.
All together, those three states accounted for 20% of all votes cast for Clinton or Trump.
You claimed that those three states would control the outcome if we went to a National Popular Vote.  
But even if every voter in those states all voted for the same candidate, that candidate would only have 20% of the nationwide vote.  And Clinton "only" won 63% of those votes - those states would have only got her 13% of the total votes.  
Do you still think those three states control the outcome?
Or would you like to take that argument back?

So I can see why you want to make it about me.  You can win against me.  Tell the other posters I'm just annoying, have a laugh.
But your argument can't defeat this math.

Yes, you are right.
