    I was about to detail out an example but I don’t think I need to.
    Compared to now when the wealthy politicians just pander to the few battleground states (Ohio, Florida, ect...) and do basically nothing but be in a major political party to get the party stronghold states and win the presidency?

    I would prefer having them pander to states with big populations than those who have lower populations, but are battleground ones
