Ah, the New York Post. Such a well-regarded source.
A1, you don't want that to happen. Stuff like that undermines faith in our democracy and makes people feel the system is in fact rigged. Let's appreciate the fact that we just had a peaceful change of government and in 4 years you'll have another shot. In a lot of other countries, this change in gov't would be accompanied by mass murders and reprisals.
She won the popular vote, and there may very well be 1-2 faithless electors. But she would need 30-40, I can't see that happening.
You'd want to balance states so candidates have an incentive to campaign and listen to the voices of those states. Else it's not worth it for the candidates, and the concerns of the less populous states don't get heard
There's a fat bearded guy who comes on Dec. 25th and drops presents under your tree as well 😂
As much as I would want that to happen it's not going to happen
Yeah but part of the electoral college isn't only because 18th century convenience. Part of it is putting power to less populous states. Electors = senators + house reps. Remember how reps are proportional but senators aren't? So is the electoral college. Let it go. Also it'll take an amendment to change the electoral college and gl with that
I don't really see why it can't just be a popular vote straight up. Then your voice I equal wherever you are or choose to live. That's how it should be instead of load balancing states.
When the margins are this thin, every vote and voice counts
Well BAH that's effectively the case now, just replace "less populous" with "non swing"
