LOL.

Obama won election with the fewest recorded number of American counties, just 24. NPV would reduce that to just two - Cook County and LA county.

You could run an entire election out of just those two.

Ben Kenobi maths:

Population of Cook County -     5.24 million
Population of LA County.   - + 10.02 million
                                           ____________
                                            15. 26 million

Population of United States - 318.9 million

15.26 million / 318.9 million = 0.0479

Therefore, we can test B. kenobi's hypothesis:

0.0479 > 0.5

By Jove! You're right! Focusing on only 4% of the American population, in a densely packed, expensive media market would easily win an election! What a genius you are!
