Leftwingshitflinger's ignorance on full display.
That moron cannot even grasp that the ELECTORS in the ELECTORAL COLLEGE get there by being ELECTED, themselves, to those spots BY THE POPULAR VOTE.
"Irrelevant?"

Leftwingshitflinger is a moron.
The Constitution is not your best friend today is it?
The point is that the total
electoral vote in the United States is irrelevant to the election of the President.....Did you miss class that day?
Nobody was talking about the TOTAL
popular vote, but even that is not "irrelevant." It's just your fantasy based effort to engage in meaningless spin.
The total ELECTORAL vote is the vote of the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, dufus.
I am sure you MEANT to address the total POPULAR vote, but even that is not irrelevant, stupid. It is derived from the popular vote of each state. And it plays a very big part in how much "mandate" a President might feel the willingness to claim.
Too bad you pontificate so heartily about the Constitution but still don't understand it even one tiny bit.
