Right, but you need even more support across the whole country, ie states in different areas, to win the popular vote.
The argument that the Electoral College requires a greater geographic diversity in order to win the election is way too simplistic, since it is based on the concept that all that matters is who wins each state, not the margin. Looking at an EC map, I can see why people would think the electoral vote promotes greater support across the country, but actually the popular vote requires a greater spread of geographic diversity in a candidate's support, since it becomes almost impossible to win the popular vote if you ignore certain areas of the country. On the other hand, one can win the electoral vote by focusing on only half the country, and thus winning narrow victories in those states (even if they are all across the country, you are still only focusing on those few states) while ignoring the remainder of the nation.
right but the main purpose of the ev (that was intreduced befor 2 parties system) was to prevent one person from doing great in one region - say the south - and thus win the presidency. toy have to win in different areas
