Hillary Clinton’s popular vote lead pushes state pols to replace antiquated Electoral College system

[TemplarKormac]

It's asinine that in the U.S. a person's vote in Idaho is worth more than a person's vote in California. When you vote for Governor of your state, does a person's vote that lives in Buttlick County BFE count more than someone that lives in Major City, USA? Nope. So why should it be different when voting for the President?

Actually, like I just said, it makes a Californian's vote just as equal as an Idahoan's.

You have no idea how this works. Period. Go educate yourself.

I already posted an article that hows exactly how much each person's vote is worth in each state. They are not equal.

United States electoral votes aren't distributed completely proportionally to state population. This is because the number of electors for a state is determined by adding the number of representatives and senators. Since there are always at least 2 senators and 1 representative, smaller states can have nearly 3x as much voting power as larger states on a per-capita basis.

That's cute. Hey genius, electoral votes are dictated by how many congressmen and senators each state has in the Senate and US House of Representatives, (always two senators plus the number of congressmen elected in that state). If anything, the electoral votes are indirectly influenced by the size of the population who votes to elect their congressmen. So the bigger the population the more the more US Representatives they elect and thus the more electoral votes the state has as a result. That doesn't make one vote worth more than another. The electoral college was instituted to make one vote equal to the other.

That's cute.

So the bigger the legislature the more the electoral votes. That doesn't make one vote worth more than another. The electoral college was instituted to make one vote equal to the other.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist. What's the population of California? 39,497,345 California Electoral Votes? 55 Population of Idaho? 1,675,054 Electoral votes of Idaho? 4

So 55 divided by 39,497,345 0.00000139
So 4 divided by 1,675,054 0.00000239

So a vote in Idaho is worth almost twice as much as a person in California.

Let's say California, New York, Florida, Alaska, Idaho and North Dakota were the only six states allowed to vote for president. California, New York and Florida would win each and every time. It would be meaningless for someone in Alaska, Idaho or North Dakota to cast a vote when the larger states would always dictate the winner of the election due to the size of their populations.

That is why the EC was put in place, to avoid these kinds of scenarios. It equalizes the chances of any state having an influence on the person elected for president.

Hillary LOST the Popular vote as well as the Electoral College.

As pointed out, approx 3 million Illegals voted in this election. Subtract 3 million illegal votes from the total number of votes Hillary supposedly leads by in the Popular Vote and suddenly she ends up LOSING by approx 1 million votes.

Silly Liberlals - Hillary loses both the Electoral College AND the LEGAL Popular vote, and they still scream they want Hillary instated as the new President.

Sorry, but NO. America has REJECTED Hillary TWICE now.

Get over it. Move on.

Because if you are a United States Citizen first, you should be more worried about just voting for the right candidate and not care who the person in California votes for. If you are a resident of your state first, then is when you are more worried if your state is getting a fair shake in the election. If things go by popular vote and your state is no longer tied to Electoral votes... then the only thing you have to worry about is your own vote, and not necessarily how your neighbor in your state voted. Every vote is equal, and every vote matters.

Link to your assertion that 3 million illegal aliens voted and that all those votes went to Hillary?

 

[Muhammed]

Damn shame isn't it? More folks voted for Hillary but we still have to put up with that red faced, orange haired monkey for the next four years!

Is there any sort of proof that Crooked Hillary has won the popular vote lead?

Damn shame isn't it? More folks voted for Hillary but we still have to put up with that red faced, orange haired monkey for the next four years!

FINAL ELECTION RESULTS

Popular Vote:
Donald Trump: 62,972,226 Winner
Hillary Clinton: 62,227,750

Electoral Vote:
Donald Trump: 306 Winner
Hillary Clinton: 232

And this includes all the dead man votes and foreign votes for Clinton

Huh?

What?

If things go by popular vote and your state is no longer tied to Electoral votes... then the only thing you have to worry about is your own vote, and not necessarily how your neighbor in your state voted.

I would worry that I would be disenfranchised by the votes of the larger states, with every reason to worry about how my "neighbor" voted.

And I'll ask again... WHY? Why is it ok that when you vote for the Governor of your state, it goes by popular vote... where a person who lives in a big city, their vote is just as equal as someone that lives in BFE, but when voting for the President it is different? That it should matter that a person in Idaho's vote should be worth more than a person in California. If you can answer that, then I'll shut up.
