I'm not voting but this forum wouldnt change who i would vote for. I just think it's fun to talk politics with people you dont know and are from different parts of the country or in the world for that matter

The electoral college is a good thing. It is usually very close to the popular vote, but like last time, it can be the opposite result. If we went by the popular vote, then California and New York alone could almost decide the election. |
Yeah I agree. I wouldnt want 5 states running the country.

It isn't fair that if only a litttle over half the people in a state vote one way that all of the states votes go to one person. I have seen a couple of states are trying to pass bills to do this. Wich is a good start. |
Well it's not fair to have the bigger states running the country. That's why we have a 2 house Congress and electoral college to try and even things out.

Also if you study the electol collage system and what it legally means. The state elector can vote any way they choose. There is no law that says the states elector can't disregard all the votes and just do what they want. |
They just dont pick a state elector. Dem and Rep parties pick an elector that is loyal to their party. What ever sides wins that elector votes for his party. If that elector doesnt vote for what side he's supposed to then it's the parties fault for appointing him.
