If Obama wins EC but loses PV...

[CrusaderFrank]

Everybody should demonstrate that they took and passed a basic Civics test before they are eligible to vote. It is unfathomable that my vote get canceled by a total fucking moron who does not know the first fucking thing about our government

 

[DiamondDave]

If Obama wins Electoral College but loses the popular vote, will Republicans finally be in favor of electoral college reform?

Reform? What exactly does that mean?

Anything that changes the system from the current winner-take-all by state.

Idiot

States have split their vote (I believe Nebraska and Michigan have before).. learn a little history

And it is indeed up to the state... you want something other than a winner take all system in your state, go campaign for it

Now.. back to your crack pipe.. it misses you

 

[kaz]

I can't speak for Republicans.

But, as for myself and similar thinking conservatives, I say LEAVE it ALONE.

And by the way, the OP hypothetical question is completely irrelevant. The incumbent is going to lose the POPULAR vote AS WELL AS the ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTE.

Thank me.

Thanks Mark...

No. Because while the system is flawed, it's the best election system for the national level.

So you think not allowing uneducated people to vote is not fascism?

He stated everyone should take and show they passed a civics course before they can vote. Having voting guidelines based on someone's education is stating you do not want uneducated people to be allowed to vote.
I think you need to take a reading and history lesson.

Read the guidelines

We changed the law two years ago. Whoever wins the PV nationally gets all of California's EC votes.

Actually you changed it a year ago, the original bill didn't pass.
And you should look up exactly how it works.

I will give a hint, it won't take effect in this election because they do not have enough states yet.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

Only New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles should get to vote..........Those blue state, urban, intellectually elite experts know whats best for the country lol

Good gawd man. Read your own post! You stated "not allowing educated people to vote". Now it's uneducated people! Get your own story straight!

Whatever, it's not fascism. Get thee a dictionary...

Imagine having to have a country wide recount back in 2000. That would have been a real great idea.
