We are talking about 17% of the US population or 17% of all voters nationally.
No one is talking about 17% of NYC's population. 
Are you having trouble with math or are you just trying to detail the thread?

No. 83% of Americans live outside of the 5 largest cities in America.  Total votes from "not top 5" voters will be 4 to 6 times more than total votes from voters in the top 5 cities.

But what about the illegals?

Seriously though. You want a pure popular vote to determine all elections or just the POTUS?
Either way, we need voter ID laws and we need to make sure every vote counted is legit.

I'd like a popular vote for all laws to be passed at state and federal levels.



But ya know... want in one hand and [BLEEP] in the other and see what fills up faster
