Alternative To The Electoral College

[Harpy Eagle]

Lefties are always criticizing how we vote for president with the electoral college so I have two alternate ideas:

1. We've got 50 states and a small handful of territories so we give them all one vote each based on the popular votes in those areas.

2. We've got 3,244 counties in the country so we give each county one vote each plus that small handful of territories and they all get one vote each based on popular votes in those areas

Why not just give each person a vote that counts the same as everyone else's vote?

Let the President represent the people and Congress represent the states

Congress is already skewed in favor of the less populated ( and thus mostly GOP) states.

Does the presidency really need to be skewed in their favor as well?

Scared you couldn’t win a fair vote?

The less populated states have fewer electoral votes.

dont come up with inconvenient facts to thwart the progressive's whining. It is after all inconvenient.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

The less populated states have fewer electoral votes.

The less populated states have more electoral votes per person.

LOL which does nothing to help elect the President.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Same crap said for Senators when Amended. They were supposed to be Reps of State Govt.

We the people......Harvested votes and 10s of millions of illegals.

Screw your opinion

fake news and fake facts

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

And was a dumb decision as it was never the intent of the founders

Who cares?

It does everything to elect the POTUS, the EC is all that matters.

a couple small states do not elect the President you moron Trump won 30 states in 2020 and still lost.

LOL all you want the point is made and your talking point is ignorant and devoid of reality.

 

[rightwinger]

It is not really fair, but that does not mean we need to get rid of it

Unless small population states agree to give up some of their influence, it is not going to happen

Why do you think that is?

again stupid 30 out of 50 states went to Trump and he lost. You whiners don't have a point.

It will never go away, and I am not sold that it should. All I stated is that even the EC is not a fair system, but fairness is not always the goal.

 

[rightwinger]

The less populated states have fewer electoral votes.

But they have more EVs than their population warrants.
Wyoming has 3 EVs for a population of 600,000

My county has more people than that

 

[Harpy Eagle]

LOL all you want the point is made and your talking point is ignorant and devoid of reality.

and yet the vote of a single person in a small state still has more power than the vote of a single person in a large state.

 

[rightwinger]

again stupid 30 out of 50 states went to Trump and he lost. You whiners don't have a point.

Yet, Trump won in 2016 despite having 3 million fewer votes
Showing the power of those small population states
