Pumpkin Eater Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Any state with over 25 electoral votes should be divided. 25 to the winner and the rest divided among congressional districts (whoever wins that district gets those EC votes) So New York for instance the winner would get 25+ whatever districts they won, the loser would get whatever districts they won.

StinkHole Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 That video made some good points, but also seems very pro electoral college Stuart So? That was right up there with one of your most Retarded comments. The video was explaining how and why the electoral college works, so I suppose it you can call it "pro electoral college", but not in a negative way. Are you "pro contraption" when you're explaining how the contraption you designed works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBrownsFan Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 No matter how much the dems whine the electoral college isn't going anywhere: 1. Electoral College can only be changed by amendment to the Constitution.2. Amendment would have to be proposed by a super-majority of 2/3rds US House AND Senate, then......3. To be ratified, it would have to be agreed upon by 38 out of 50 states. Point of today's lesson??? The Electoral College is here to stay! Why you might ask? Simplest answer: 38 states are NOT giving up their voice in the presidential election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 The electoral college is necessary to prevent large population centers from making all those other states unrepresented in elections. Those states have different needs, perspectives... a popular vote would be tyranny - all those other states would have no voice. As usual, the electoral college is bad because the liberals didn't win by it. Flip the popular vote, and liberals would be as quiet as church mice. They are just emotionally and politically knee jerking again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkHole Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Stuart The Prager video explains it clearly. The primaries are about the popular vote. The general election is NOT ABOUT THE POPULAR VOTE. You libtards gotta get "the popular vote" out of your head. It's irrelevant. As the video explained the Founders were against the idea of the popular vote because it is the function of a pure democracy where the small majority always gets its way and the entire demographics of the country are not represented. The only areas of the country the candidate would need to campaign in order to seek the popular votes would be the heavily populated East and West coasts.

They are just emotionally and politically knee jerking again. There are issues with the electoral college regardless who wins. Saying "well you'd say this..." doesn't discredit any point being made. Why not give a % of the total state delegates out based on the results within the state? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 that is up to the state - some states do. https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/electors.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted November 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Right, but I'm saying they all do. Though, that still makes rural votes count for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
