A popular vote is what it is. 4 good candidates get a large number of votes , it doesnt matter if someone hits some preset majority indicator. The person who gets the most votes wins.

Except its not really an equal say in the state. If a person wins by one vote they get all the EC votes. If EC votes were split it may resemble equal say. Even though half of the state wanted the other person all the weight that state carries goes one way. 


Good point. We are a diverse Nation. And we are all voting on the same thing. Each state has a voice when they elect their own representatives. We are voting as individuals of a nation. The manner in which votes are counted should reflect that. This isnt a local or state election. I am voting for the leader of my country. It doesnt matter what state I live in.

Little over 1.5 million sour grapes.

You know, for this being a thread of pure condescension you created about how uneducated people chose the President, you are hilariously (and ironically) uneducated about the Electoral College.

I may just be a humble HS Graduate, but I know that how the EC votes are awarded are up to the state. For instance, both Maine and Nebraska actually split up their electoral votes which are awarded based off of districts they've made in their state. Maine is split into two districts. Winning one will award 1 EC vote. The other 2 of their 4 votes Maine can award are given to the winner of the overall state popular vote.

If your state awards them winner take all, perhaps you should go and try to get involved by writing your Governor to try to get it changed instead of crying because you lost in a system who's rules were already established and you were happy to play by... until you lost.
