If the left wants elections decided by majority rules so bad let’s elect the President by who wins the most states.

If the left wants elections decided by majority rules so bad let’s elect the President by who wins the most states.

So with a minority of the popular vote again? No, dumbass.

So in other words you want an election process you know will favor the Democrats which we all know a straight popular vote would do just like the majority state vote would favor Republicans. You on the left aren’t fooling anyone about why you really want to end the electoral college.

Electoral College is FAR MORE mathematically democratic than the Senate. See if you can change that first -- OK?? There's valid reasons for equality of States.. Just as in the equality of voters WITHIN those states.

Good luck convincing the people of 38 states needed to amend the Constitution. If we get rid of the EC only 4 to 5 out of 50 states will decide who becomes president.

Perfect plan for leftist domination. Get rid of Electoral College. Flood the Bluest states with Millions of new illegal voters on the rolls and don't enforce the Fed Election law..

You folks desperate enough to bribe foreign mercenaries to fight your fights?

Myths About Big Cities

That is a straw man argument. It’s not about the cities, it’s about the 50 United States. There were several factors why our founders preferred the electoral system. One factor- electoral college was a compromise made by the largely populated states to the smaller states in order to appease the concern from the small states about being controlled by the voters in other states.

Here is a link which will help the OP understand what the founders were thinking. Read it, and burn your straw man while you’re at it.

The current use of the electoral college bears no resemblance to what the founders set up,

The flaw in the current use of the electoral college is that almost all the states award all the electoral votes to the winning candidate, no matter how small a margin he or she won the state by.

No, elections should be based on people - not acreage.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The founders thought the electoral college would keep guys like Trump from winning. That's the best irony here.

That is an individual state issue and the fact that only 2 parties have all the control.

That system would destroy the less populated farming states

Now let me get this straight. You want to get rid of the EC because it means that sometimes the person who get's the most of the popular vote does not always win the election....and yet your argument against it based on the fact the States give the Candidate who wins the popular vote in the state gets all of the Delegates......folks you simply cannot make shit like this up.

Well you might be mathematically challenged if you can't see that PROPORTIONING the e-votes is almost redundant to a straight pop vote. It's just a more inaccurate popular vote if you do that. Except in the states with ONLY 1 or 3 e-votes. Then ---- the fun begins and the VOTE becomes HIGHLY inaccurate under proportioning. Especially with the FOUR party system that this nation OUGHT to have.

Lol so you just admitted there are more Democrats in this country.

God forbid the GOP have to try to appeal to more people. I guess you know they can’t.

Here’s the problem. EC has evolved to this current stage where a handful of “purple “ states get all the attention.
