The electoral college, the founders had it right

[Redfish]

In their infinite wisdom, the United States ’ Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented.
Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet.
It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.
These numbers are astonishing. Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States .
Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State .
Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16 .

Clinton won the popular vote by approx 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan , Richmond & Queens)
Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. ( Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond )
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago , LA , etc.) DO NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!

And...it's been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.
Why the electoral college is valid.

As I always point out the title is president of the United States. Not president of New York or president of California. Those titles are actually called governors.

Still obsessing about an election in which your 'choice' won is not healthy.

There is NOTHING like a 'sore winner.'

Maybe one day your illness will get better but prolly not.

No one is "obsessing" except the libs who continually point out that Mrs. C "won the popular vote", and the electoral college is bogus.

Nothing obsessive about answering charges that the Liberals are making against America.

Maybe if you and your comrades quit bitching about who won the popular vote the OP wouldn’t have posted this. Just a thought.

Just posting facts. Just refuting dem/lib lies. no obsession here, just documenting facts.

the next time you or one of your libtardian buddies starts yelling "but Hillary won the popular vote" I will post these facts again and will keep posting them until you STFU.

Sure, he can dream about being one of us. If only he had the smarts.

What is, "one of us?"

Is that some kind of a orange glow worm thing?

No, they established the electoral college to satisfy slave states who wanted to disenfranchise large parts of their populations without risking voters in free states overwhelming them to abolish slavery democratically. Also, to establish greater autonomy of the President from Congress. The plan had almost been to have Congress elect the President, but the general feeling was that this could turn the Presidency into Congress' puppet, diminishing the checks and balances between the two branches.

Next time, get educated instead of indoctrinated.

Hillary Clinton, in contrast, had an 8.2 million vote margin in a narrow band of 52 coastal counties and five “county equivalent” cities stretching from San Diego to Seattle on the West Coast and Northern Virginia to Boston on the East Coast. That narrow band included two major cities–Washington, D.C and Baltimore, Maryland–included in the five “county equivalent” cities, and three major cities–Philadelphia, New York, and Boston–which are included in the 52 counties.

Clinton received 70 percent of the 18.4 million votes cast in these 52 elite coastal counties. Donald Trump, in contrast, received only 25 percent of the vote in these counties. The remaining 5 percent went to other candidates.

They got it right, but they did not make it fair at all.

There is nothing fair about a vote in Wyoming counting for more than 3 votes in Cali or or Texas
