This is why the electoral college actually makes the election more fair * 2
    #23844136 - 11/18/16 04:40 AM (7 years, 2 months ago)

Let me start off by saying that I don't particularly like the electoral college. It's a flawed system. But after what I point out, a lot of you won't like the idea of a popular vote either. So here's what happened: Hillary is leading in the popular vote by a little over a million. After a review of the electoral map, it was noticed that Hillary won Las Angeles county by a wider margin than she did the popular vote. Here are pictures from the NYT and CNN confirming that:


So, las angeles county is the ONLY county that put Hillary on top in terms of popular vote. Besides LA, when added up, Trump wins the popular vote total of every other county. I for one would not like a county that is overun by illegal immigrants and voter fraud to be the county deciding our entire election. So in this case, the electoral college saved us from a disaster.

That's right. Trump won the popular vote of 3142 counties out of 3143.

Interesting, that's a hell of a difference, I agree one city shouldn't decide for an entire state

yeah but if the guy with his cows is out voted by another guy in that county then the other person wins

if one candidate only panders to people who live in the city then of course the electoral college is going to help

I think gerry mandering is the bigger issue here..

It's just the fact that ONE county, out of over 3,000, shouldn't decide the election either. Especially when a bunch of illegals vote in that county.

the electoral saved us from the Hildabeast, that's all that needs to be said about that

Now let's look at senatorial races, a MAJORITY of states voted for republicans to run the senate

Now let's look at the House of Representatives, a MAJORITY of states voted for republicans

Now let's look at governorships, a MAJORITY of states have voted to have republicans

Now let's look at state legislatures, a MAJORITY of states voted for republicans to control them.

***the people have spoken

I understand the pros of the electoral college but the result of it is that some votes weigh more than others which just isn't how I like things. One man one vote, I want a democracy not a fuckin republic

I think most of the population agrees that a popular vote is the way to go, if that's the case then the people should have their way.

I want to say for the record that these opinions have nothing to do with the recent election.

It's not.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

First, there are not 3,143 counties.

Quote:

How many counties are there in the United States?

There are 3,141 counties and county equivalents in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. They are categorized as follows:

3,007 entities named "County"
16 Boroughs in Alaska
11 Census Areas in Alaska (for areas not organized into Boroughs by the State)
64 Parishes in Louisiana
42 Independent Cities (1 in Maryland, 1 in Missouri, 1 in Nevada, and the remainder in Virginia)
1 District - the Federal District or District of Columbia.




2nd, just in NY there are 62 counties of which Trump won 46. So he's down by 14 right there.

Quote:

Democrat Hillary Clinton cruised to a win by popular vote with statewide Democratic enrollment on her side, while Republican Donald Trump won the geographic battle of the state by picking up 46 county-level victories, primarily upstate.
