319 Square Miles

Too bad, Democrats will never win the White House again.
Thank you Founding Fathers!

The two party system we have guarantees that the Dems will once again have the WH by 2030.

What kind of Democratic party it is, far left Marxist or moderate social Democrat, will be hugely important for our nations survival.

Obviously the system is broken, even Hillary could not surpass its corruption. Neocons like the prehistoric Constitution that keeps letting Neanderthals get the White House.

The EC is archaic.

Actually, the EC has never been more appropriate and NEEDED, as Democrats seek to rule the country by packing the country, with Democrat illegal alien voters.

Facts only matter to me, the votes are not fair as they are. Maybe we should take away a Senator from those unpopulous states with under 100 thousand people, as they are overly represented in the US Senate.

They are NOT overly represented in the Senate, because population is not the criteria. Location, and regional identity are. And Wyoming, the Dakotas, et al have just as much location and regional identity as California.

What you would do, by going to the popular vote, is take votes and power AWAY from those less populous states. That is what would not be fair.

But you might as well save your tying energy for something else. The Electoral College is not going anywhere. It is HERE TO STAY.

We also need to change the Constitution to only count citizens for representative redistricting/apportionment and return Senators to being elected by state senates.

They cost more as they pay little taxes, the little populous states. The EC is going bye bye and is pretty much a goner. Put the 570 grand in Texas and they do not make a difference, out of 28.3 million people. Rather insignificant.

OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE GENIUSES
Illustrates the very reason the Electoral College was conceived

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.
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. (with illegal alien voters included)
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!

Hold your breath, that will end it faster.

You are delusional.
