You're not only calling "supporters" comical, you're also calling our Constitution itself comical. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_States_Constitution#Clause_2:_Method_of_choosing_electors What's comical is that you think this is an issue that's even up for debate. I never said it was up for debate. I said the arguments used by supporters are comical. They are also ignorant because they are mistaken as to the original intention of the EC. --- David Mink.

Each state's number of electoral college votes granted is determined by its population size. California gets 55 votes while the critical '16 swing states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, had 20, 16 and 10 votes respectively. You need 270 to win. What needs to change to is electoral voters being human and not just votes award immediately upon winning a state. And during the primary election, electoral votes need to be divvied by percentage won as opposed to winner take all. This way your vote matters, even if you're conservative in California or a liberal in South Dakota. The electoral votes aren't even to scale. CA should have more votes based on it's population. Just do a popular election like every other democratic government in the world ffs. What do you insist on America being different? I'll admit it makes election nights riveting. That's the only good thing about it. The negatives are massive. Mob rule would make gay marriage in America illegal. Ah so now the supporters manage to interpolate gay marriage into an electoral college argument. Amazing. So you don't support the popular vote? there are only like 5 states where more people disagree with gay marriage than agree with it Not at the time it was being voted on. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:901433367] in America's ...
