Did "the republicans" do that? Or the founding fathers? WDMSO, that was the deal the founding fathers offered to the less-populated colonies, to get them to join the union. I'm not going to deny that lately, that's working out better for the right than for the left.
Maybe it wasn't that smart for the left to come up with an agenda that's only popular in the heavily-populated areas on the two coasts. Maybe if the left didn't have such obvious contempt for everyone who lives between the coasts, they'd do better within the electoral college. That's their fault, not the GOP's fault.
