2020 Presidential Race

Not in the least. Without the electoral college, every vote would count.
With the electoral college, only states that are toss ups get attention.
Anyone's vote who lives in a blue or red state is meaningless. The result is a foregone conclusion.
It actually has the opposite effect of what you guys claim.
Remember when Hillary skipped campaigning in the flyover states and it cost her the election? Moving to a popular vote means continuing to skip over those flyover states as if they don't matter, just like Hillary did.

Ha. I've also done my fair share of reading and studying about Nixon, so my opinion was shaped well before the documentary I referenced was produced. Either way, we can agree to disagree and move on.

Agreed. But just so you'll know and maybe rest a little easier, I thought he correctly resigned or should have been removed from office if he had not. What he did was wrong and he admitted it. He was the chief law enforcement officer of the United States and he chose to play lawyer for his friends. I also thought some of his economic policies were bad. Wage and Price controls cause nothing but disruptions in the market.

The exact opposite is true.
Because with popular vote winning by 58 - 42 would be far better than winning by 51 - 49.
The electoral college motivates candidates to only focus on states that could go either way - and that aint many.
 
I was referring to the notion of making it harder to vote, so no, Russia has nothing to do with that. Unfortunately, not sure you can “both sides” this one
There needs to be a reasonable balance. Voting shouldn't be too hard or too easy. There's a middle ground of "just right" that neither side wants to achieve because that would require compromise.

You having those things would probably effect no one (unless they were stolen or you or lilreb went nuts).
But that fact is grossly outweighed by the people who would misuse theirs.
So I'm responsible, lilreb is responsible. Both mentally sound and no defect. I don't really consider any of those things happening. God forbid that I ever have to use it, it is the last thing I would want to do. I value my life, my sense of self preservation is very strong. My protective instinct even stronger.
Should the great state of virginia be able tell me I can't use this weapon or that weapon to protect my husband and my child?

And which states are ones that go either way?

Yes. As long as you are able to have weapons that will protect you.
I do not think you need land mines in your yard or a mini nuke under your porch.
