Many Democrats are proposing we eliminate the Electoral College because it cost them two presidential elections in recent years.

Doing so would severely limit the influence of the voters in at least 40 states, including Hawaii.

Assuming the total U.S. population is 325 million, the top 10 states (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan) have a combined population of 177 million, or more than 54 percent of the total.

So those 10 states could swing the entire election, leaving the other 40 wondering what just happened.
