What’s a common “fact” that’s spread around that’s actually not true and pisses you off that too many people believe it?

    It doesn’t though.

    It used to, that is true, but it no longer does.

    The Constitution allowed for midwest states to have a minimum number of college votes so Congress would not be dominated by the biggest states.

    But since then, the population of those states has grown so that they meet the numbers for those votes anyway, exception in a few cases, and even then the disproportion is small.
