Will the Electoral College screw up another election?

[OKTexas]

IF the shoe was on the other foot and the Republicans were able to muster more total votes then Dems would be screaming bloody murder if anyone suggested getting rid of the electoral college.

The justification for the EC is as relevant today as the days of the founding, if not more so.

Prime cause of the present dysfunction imo.

An understatement imo.

Nah, that's just propaganda you're fed from birth.

Nope. That’s a fact.

What is your silly fixation on that term?

Kamala Harris Faces Electoral College ‘Problem’​

Kamala Harris faces a growing possibility that she could win the most votes in November but still lose the election because of the Electoral College, election forecaster Nate Silver writes in his latest newsletter. He projects that there is about a 20% chance that Democrats lose the presidency despite receiving the most votes for the third time since 2000.

Silver's model currently shows Trump with a 61.5% chance of winning the presidency.

Trump has gained ground on Harris in polling averages in key Rust Belt swing states Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, and Silver writes that Harris is losing ground to Trump in polling averages for six of seven battleground states.

Silver may be explaining why Trump polls 5%-9% low compared to election results.

So, will the Electoral College screw up another election?

Harris campaign has 'quiet confidence,' but some Democrats are worried​

At a leadership retreat, Harris’ campaign chair ticked through the battleground states and warned: She still didn’t have any one sure path to 270

Well, dumbass, all the times when the winner didn't get the highest popular vote. Are you really that stupid?

 

[Missourian]

lol...you scared princess?....

Lakhota has no principles but power.

If she WON because of the Electoral College, she would defend it with the same vigor she attacks it today.

Just ask Dick Cheney.

Well, dumbass, all the times when the winner didn't get the highest popular vote. Are you really that stupid?

We don't elect a POTUS by popular vote, so the electoral college got it right.

You really need to get educated on how we elect a President, Dumbass.

I hope not.

 

[dblack]

I hope not.

All you're hoping for is that your side wins. If Kamala gets an electoral victory, but Trump wins the popular vote - will you still be whining about the electoral college?
