The National Popular vote, myths of small pop states and cities.

The history of the EC is also in it. The founders really wanted the majority vote candidate to win and the second one got the VP. It got screwed up since the south had 90% blacks slaves and were not included in the vote, so the north got over represented, so they figured out a way to make it more equal.

Every Vote Equal
 
The Republicans are so scared of the maj vote. They might even win.
 
Liberals have no idea where food comes from, try to get rid of the EC so you can impose your will on us we'll starve you fools into submission. :muahaha:
 
You want confederation of 50 countries as the US, try rolling back the clock and starting over, otherwise get on board the principle that we're a NATION.

If HRC had won the election by losing popular vote but winning the electoral college, there wouldn't be a rightwinger on this board vigorously defending the electoral college.

Time to get rid of the Electoral College:

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.

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.


Wow do I wish we had at least 4 legitimate parties to choose from!

And the second one with the most votes becomes the VP.
 
When a popular vote banned gay marriage in California did the left say well okay the people have spoken? HELL NO they ran to the courts to overturn the will of the people and the popular vote. OH SNAP!

The Republicans are scared of the "tyranny of the majority" we were warned about and see around the world today in Islamic nations. Crimes go unpunished, people are killed, girls and boys are raped all for being in the minority. You will never get equal justice again.

You apparently prefer something like that. No thanks bonehead.

The RWnuts like you suddenly loved mob rule when the homophobes won that referendum.

they had that for a while.

Then realize all they needed to do to get their man in the WH, was to assassinate the sitting president.

California held a popular vote, they voted to ban gay marriage. The left refused to accept the results of that popular vote. You clowns are not fooling anyone, you are only for something so long as it gives you the result you want, next week when it doesn't you are against it.

Go ahead explain the left's hypocrisy, either they support popular votes or they don't you can't have it both ways. I know bbb...but :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:
