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.
I was aware there are some exceptions. I am by no means a history guru. I hated the subject.
When they wrote the laws that determined the proper fractionional value of a slave in regards to population and state representation in federal government, my state wasnt a state.
Im not the first and wont be the last to complain about the busted ass EC. When i first figured out what it was and how it worked in 2000 i was unhappy with the system. So its really nothing new.
