Why? Its actually a kind of stupid idea. I guess it kind of worked when you had 13 states that didn't really want to be in the same country... and they expected Congress to select the president, not the EC.

But today, when you can accurately count all the votes in one day... No so much.

Let's look at what's wrong with it.

1) Some asshole who the people didn't want can win if he marginally wins enough states.

2) If you state is demographically homogeneous, your vote doesn't count and no one spends a lot of time in your state.

3) A very small group can hold a state hostage- Yes, I'm looking at you, Cuban Americans in Florida.

4) It makes it impossible for third parties to grow. - Hey, remember when everyone spent all their time telling us how much they hated BOTH of these candidates. Yet a third party never gained any traction.

Hell, the senate was appointed by the aristocracy and only land holding affluent white males got to vote. Just like you guys want.

You obviously didn't even bother to watch the video, you just started spewing your ignorance.

Wise of you for once, not to engage on that.

Before the election it was all about your "Blue Wall", now not so much.
Really?
FL was blue in 12 as was PA NC and OH, WI and MI.
The system worked and it irritates you.

Nope. She didn't have a point, and I'm not wasting my tiime.

There is no good reason to make someone president when the people clearly wanted someone else.

Good thing there are 45 other states to keep them from being the ruling class

 

[miketx]

I understood the EC perfectly. They called me Tuesday and said Trump was in.

No, an observation of how pandering to a small group can lead to really stupid policy.
