That is true. However it's becoming a more urban vs rural issue. More and more people are living in urban areas and the majority of them are liberal. Going to the city just opens ones eyes to different ideas, which is the whole philosophy of liberalism. So the more people move to cities, the more likely they will vote Democrats and the more likely that vote doesn't count due to the EC.
EC is determined by house reps plus 2 (senators). Why hasn't house seats increased? It's been 435 since 1911! If the Democrats win everything in November, they should look at this.
