Repeat this to YOURSELF. There is nothing in the definition of a Representative Republic ( I prefer Constitutional Republic) that precluded the election of the president by popular vote. The states elect their state and federal representatives by popular vote. We have three branches of government with a system of checks and balances so no president, regardless of how she is elected has absolute power even if elected by a popular vote. A "direct democracy" would only exist if the people everything were put to a popular referendum. God for fucking bid if that happens. To many fucking idiots out there .Below is a list of states along with their populations, number of electoral votes, and a percentage that demonstrates the relative value of a vote cast in that state compared to the national average For example, in 2008, on average a state is awarded one electoral vote for every 565,166 people.
However, Wyoming has three electoral votes and only 532,668 citizens (as of 2008 estimates). As a result each of Wyoming's three electoral votes corresponds to 177,556 people. Understood in one way, these people have 3.18 times as much clout in the Electoral College as an average American, or 318% (as listed in the pdf chart, downloadable below).
Population vs. Electoral Votes - Fairvote
---------------------------------------
Maj. rule happens in the Federal and State House and Senate and the Supreme Court. Yet the maj vote does not count in the elections for Potus. WHY?
While there is evidence that the founders assumed the electors would be independent actors,

There are 2 Senators from every state and they have their representatives in the house to bring their voices to the congress. We do not need the EC any more. The population of the US in 1800 was about 5 million and only 13 states, people were uneducated and the workers did not vote, or the women or blacks, only the rich white men aka the founders.
Most workers did not even know who was running when the EC was invented.
Penny, ever spewing out the recent Talking Points of her Overlords.
Get over it, Penny, the Electoral College is here to stay.
Do you have a comment on the EC or not, its not fair.
Repeat this to yourself if you can understand it: we are a representative republic. Not a straight democracy. Can you understand that?
About 50% of the voters are fucking idiots and they voted for Hillary. The same person who stole the primary election away from Bernie(Socialist) Sanders who owns three $600,000 houses and doesnt share any of them with the rest of you sorry dumbass liberals.To many fucking idiots out there .
Thank you for that brilliant retort.Don't be too sure. WE Dems are working on it. You people are scared shitless of our succeeding because you will loose more elections. There have been 4 times in history when the candidate who won the EC did not get the popular vote and they were all RepublicansBelow is a list of states along with their populations, number of electoral votes, and a percentage that demonstrates the relative value of a vote cast in that state compared to the national average For example, in 2008, on average a state is awarded one electoral vote for every 565,166 people.

Its a quaint and archaic system. The person with the most votes should win , that is the same all over the world. Any system that gets in the way of that is corrupt. .
Like I said, they are separate entities, and the EC was deliberately set up to prevent large states from trampling smaller ones when selecting the president. If you truly want the national popular vote to select the president, you should eliminate the individual states.
The states are just pieces of land. People are the thing. And a lot of peoples votes are rendered worthless by the current system. That should be addressed to maintain the integrity of the system. What that looks like should be subject to discussion, these things should not be done lightly.Its a quaint and archaic system. The person with the most votes should win , that is the same all over the world. Any system that gets in the way of that is corrupt. .
The EC has done well for 200 years Tommy. You need to understand that America is a vast land mass. Our port-cities are most highly populated but much more geographic America exists. The EC was meant to thwart control of a minority of densely populated States. It has to do with equality Tommy. You know the equality you and the libs constantly shout about. In fact I would say that one of the big reasons for the success of the U.S. is the EC.
