This is why we are a Republic, to keep 51% from stealing from 49%. The Democrats want and need mob rule. Look very closely at "Redistricting" in your State. Learn how it is done and why it matters. This is how they keep your voice from being heard.I understand your concern. I used to think we should go to a strictly vote count. I mean, in the current system our vote doesn't necessarily mean anything- much like you describe.
But then I started looking at how our elections actually work, and why the Founding Fathers set it up the way they did.
What I found was that the founders of this Nation were afraid of any one group making laws that only benefited them and their kind, without regard for the Nation as a whole.
An example would be the City people "ruling" the Country folk because their are more people in the city.
From what I read, that is why they set up our electoral system the way they did- so that it wasn't a "mob rule" situation.
Unfortunately, the states didn't follow suit, and the result is that in some states mob rule IS the rule.
