Well, strictly speaking, doesn't everything work as designed?   Maybe you mean "works as intended."

Note that Clinton has an "island" in nearly every state.  You probably think that doesn't matter. And it doesn't. Just like everything else this map shows us doesn't matter.

It doesnt matter to you because it hurts your case. Federal elections, outside of House Rep, are not (supposed to be) popular votes, they are for the States as distinct entities to elect portions of the Federal government. Making it popular destroys the protections of Federalism and our Republic by giving urban [BLEEP] holes undue electoral influence over smaller states. This [BLEEP] only gets brought up when Democrats lose, and it's tiresome. You might be ok with the people on those islands dictating all of our policy, but the sane among us are not.
