If trump loses the election because of the electoral college it might finally get abolished. Unfortunately i dont see it happening since over 20 electors would have to switch

I don't care if Clinton wins if we could get rid of the EC. Of course, if the electors overturned Trumps win, then the EC would be gone by the next election.

#HamiltonElectors are patriots participating in the electoral process who believe that Presidential Electors are responsible for safeguarding our nation’s futureand ensuring that the next President is the best person for the job. As Electors, we honor Alexander Hamilton’s vision that the Electoral College should act as a Constitutional failsafe against those lacking requisite qualifications, ability, and virtue from becoming President. Guided by the Framers’ original intent, we’re compelled this year to do our job as Electors, to put party aside, and to put America first. So we hope that Electors from both red and blue states will answer the Founding Fathers’ call, deliberate, and unite behind an alternative Republican Candidate: the Hamilton Candidate.

Of course that's almost the certain outcome, but the effort should be made. There is a chance.

If that happens, the electoral college won't be abolished it will be amended to bind electors to their states' voters. Why would the republicans bite the hand that feeds them by abolishing it?

Its interesting with the American system that if you were to swap the votes around between the states, the same number of people would have voted of A or B but the outcome would be completely different because a single vote carris much more weight in one state than in another.
That was never the intent of democracy, that some votes count more than others depending on where the ballot box stands.

You're probably right. The demographics of the country will progressively make it harder for them to hold onto power without electoral affirmative action programs like the EC.

But Asante, there are more democratic voters in the US than republican voters and without the EC democrats would win every time. That's not fair to the republicans.

it's a lovely graphic but it's inaccurate as fuck, trump won the majority of the states which is why he won the election, do you believe that everone else's vote should be silenced because a few hundred heavily populated counties make up the majority of the US? that is the very reason for the electoral college

Do you think the voice of the majority should be silenced simply because they live in a state with a large population?
Nobody's voice is silenced if the election is determined by the popular vote as is every other elected office and ballot measure in the country. Everyone gets one vote and nobody's vote is weighted more or less than anyone elses.

I believe in one voter, one vote. Imagine Shroomery polls were made so that if your vote was from the USA it would count as 1/3 of a vote from Holland because we have much more members from the USA than from Holland. So, to give Holland a fair chance we disadvantage all Americans, Canadians and Australians.
..fuck no Holland, nice try.

You don't get it. There are more liberals in America than conservatives. If every vote were counted equally, the liberals would win and that's just not fair. How would the conservatives ever win anything?

Theoretically you can get a majority in the electoral college with just 22% of the popular vote. Its madness

they also seem to be unable to grasp the concept that the states set the rules on how the electors vote and that as soon as a president like bush wins the popular vote because the states allowed for it, they'll be crying about how california's voters were disenfranchised because the electoral vote would have elected kerry
