Still the fact is Donald Trump won more votes in more states, it's obvious Hillary Clinton did not relate to the greater America. You cannot have an East and West Coast only candidate and still relate Relate to the whole country, that is the whole reason for the EC is this is a republic not a shit eating democracy. Mob rule is the popular vote only just a fact.I tried to explain that to my dad. But it still does seem shady. If 51% of Americans want one person to win, that person should win.Thanks to the whack jobs in the former Confederate States of America we have a President of White Folk Nation
The U.S. constitution gives rural areas disproportionate power in the political system. The framers of the Constitution didn’t want to give any state too much power. Because rural voters and rural states tend to be whiter than the general population, this has the effect of giving white non-Hispanic voters more power over the outcome of the election than black, Hispanic or Asian voters.
Some States like North and South Dakota have less populations than two or three cities within just the County I live in...yet they swing hefty weight in the electoral college
True, but if there was not an electoral college those states might as well not even vote, because the numbers would be so insignificant. Us in the rual states cannot have Californians and New Yorkers telling us what to do in our own state, they don't know what's best for this state.
I think it also must suck for the smaller states who only get 3 electoral votes. California is worth more than they are worth. I'm sure they'd rather it be one person one vote.
Or figure out how many electoral votes VT is worth and how many CA is worth and have it be based on the population. I'm sure they do that but if they did it right the winner of the popular vote would always be the winner. It must be now that some states have more electoral votes than they should and some smaller states have less and should be worth more.
