It does not matter how popular Donald Trump is among fake republican voters. The GOP is still a minority party

Hey Stupid, DEFINE a "fake republican voter?" If Trump supporters are fake republicans, does that mean that democrats are electing him???

NO.

So does the popular vote, which the slates of electors SHOULD follow.

Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98 (2000), was a decision of the United States Supreme Court on December 12, 2000, that settled a recount dispute in Florida's 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore. On December 8, the Florida Supreme Court had ordered a statewide recount of all undervotes, over 61,000 ballots that the vote tabulation machines had missed.

The Bush campaign immediately asked the U.S. Supreme Court to stay the decision and halt the recount. Justice Antonin Scalia, convinced that all the manual recounts being performed in Florida's counties were illegitimate, urged his colleagues to grant the stay immediately.
On December 9, the five conservative justices on the Court granted the stay, with Scalia citing "irreparable harm" that could befall Bush, as the recounts would cast "a needless and unjustified cloud" over Bush's legitimacy.

The Supreme Court's decision allowed the vote certification made by Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris to stand, giving Bush Florida's 25 electoral votes. Florida's votes gave Bush, the Republican nominee, 271 electoral votes, one more than the 270 required to win the Electoral College. This meant the defeat of Democratic candidate Al Gore, who won 267 electoral votes but received 266, as a "faithless elector" from the District of Columbia abstained from voting.

Media organizations later analyzed the ballots and found that, under specified criteria, the originally pursued recount of undervotes of several large counties would have confirmed a Bush victory, whereas a statewide recount would have resulted in a Gore victory. Florida later retired the punch-card voting machines that produced the ballots disputed in the case.

they don't visit every state?



Which ones don't they visit?


"At oral arguments on December 11, Bush’s legal team asserted that the Florida Supreme Court had exceeded its authority by ordering the manual recount of undervotes, while Gore’s team contended that the case, having already been decided at the state level, was not a matter for consideration at the federal level. In a per curiam ruling issued the following day, the Court found (7–2) that, owing to inconsistencies in manual recounting methods and standards between Florida counties, the Florida court’s order of a manual recount amounted to a violation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. "

But it turned out that way.

With the termination of the recount process, Florida’s 25 electoral votes were awarded to Bush. Gore officially conceded on December 13 and stated in a televised address, “While I strongly disagree with the Court’s decision, I accept it.”

Darn, if only Trump and his cult had as much class as Gore did in his pinky toe.

Because, the fascist teabaggers are NOT popular, even in their own states.
That's why they gerrymander.
THEY pick their voters, instead of the voters picking them.

 

[merrill]

Bush beat Kerry, in the popular vote, by 3 million votes.

Without the Electoral College, approximately 13 states would decide the presidency every election.


The midwest would have no say in how the country is run.

The FF were wise enough to see this, why aren't you?

Abolish the ELECTORAL College and Prosecute Voter Suppression

No MORON

Because they are outnumbered by more populous areas.

One county in California than 8 midwest states, ergo MORE ELECTORS.

Do you have ANYTHING between your ears besides mush?

I voted republican for 50 years, Then Trump showed up.
Didn't vote for president in 2016, or 2020, and looks like I won't be voting in 2024

 

[BULLDOG]

So your theory is that if a party gets 49.9% of the vote and its candidate sets a new record for the most votes by a sitting president ever, they are still a "minority" party in a country where the national popular vote does not even exist nor matter other than in the heated backroom annals of leftwing seditionists?

Who do you think got 49.9% of the popular vote?

WTF, Retard?
The electors are based on the population, idiot.
Hence..........popular vote.

Each of the 50 states receives electoral votes equal to its total congressional (Senators + Representatives) delegation. Since all states have two Senators and a minimum of one congressional district, the fewest number of electoral votes a state can have is three. Although not a state, the District of Columbia (DC) receives 3a electoral votes. Therefore, the total electoral votes is 538, reflecting 100 Senators + 435 Representatives + 3 for DC.

The number of congressional districts in each state is determined by its Census population. The last Census was in 2010, the next will be in 2020. Once each state’s Census population is finalized, a calculation (called The Method of Equal Proportions) generates the new number of districts for each state. Since the number of districts is fixed by law at 435, states essentially gain or lose representation (and electoral votes) based on population change relative to the total change in population for the country.

If you're ony excluding President then your trip is not yet complete.

What about those that support Trump?
Those that lie for Trump?
Those that corrupt the legal system for Trump?
Those that would weaken our military for Trump?

Until they're all gone the threat remains.

and because of that Ca has more power to decide the presidency than 10 of its neighbors.

Popular vote. and electors.

get rid of the EC, no need for an election.

Just ask Ca and NYC who they want in DC.

Republicans in Congress don't march in lockstep behind the president like Democrats.
