I wonder if they realize we have the lowest voter turnout because of the EC. Then again, the less voters that come out to vote the better for conservatives. So I guess that's something they like about the EC after all. The assumption seems to be that disenfranchised voters who stay home, will continue to do so. What happens when a net presidential vote that's 100% democrat in California suddenly becomes only 60% democrat? - or the inverse in Texas? <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:909120322] in Hillary: I...

CableZL 09/20/18 12:47:50 PM #45:	A way to make the EC fair would be to balance the number of votes states get based on population.

The United States is a federal republic and a constitutional representative democracy. Federal meaning the nation is large enough to make use of a government on a national level. Republic implies we have a strong head of state and elected officials appointed by the people. Constitutional refers to the fact we have a constitution and representative democracy means we have elected officials who represent the people in handling legislative matters. At the core the United States is exactly that, 50 states united under one constitution unified as a republic that leverages a representative democracy. There is power within each state to help implement the peoples will on a federal level. Hence the electoral college.

She didn't receive a majority, and under the current rules, the house would have decided the president, and I have a feeling they would have voted Trump. This. The powers that be knew that there would be riots if they put Hillary in office. You can blame obama for being so blatant and offensive about forcing his agenda. The left always talks about how WE should make a bipartisan effort, but their party has become so radicalized that they even said that Reagan democrats (center left) are RACISTS! Basically, they said if youre not a far left radical, then youre a racist. They think they should be able to do anything they want and we should just let them do it. I guess I cant blame them after eight years of obama being allowed to have free reign by the rinos. --- Member of The Fam <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:909120522] in Hillary: I...
