But you keep referencing this election, which I already said doesn't pertain to my argument because the 4th candidate pulled out. The scenario that's worrying people up here didn't happen this time. It's new. People that were already skeptical of elections are confused and pissed. That's where the college sports points comparison was brought up in the discussions because most people already know or understand that system.
Most people you're talking to know or understand that system. I had never heard about it before this discussion and I am willing to bet the majority are in the same boat. You're basing your position on the convenience sample from barroom conversations where the population is more likely to know the system. But that's not an apt representation of the overall population.
