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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There are 58 counties in CA.
Trump won 24 so he's down another 34.
http://www.sacbee.com/site-services/databases/article115280078.html
So in the two states I bothered with he's down a total of 48 already.
I'm not sure why people say stupid shit like "Trump won the popular vote of 3142 counties out of 3143. "
It does no-one any good.

Youre so full of shit. What are you even talking out. My county is over a million people and Clinton got 80% of the vote. Your math sucks as well. The margin in LA is 1.2 million and Clinton's lead is 1.5 million. Or do you just want to throw out the Hillary vote? Why don't we just have an elections where you don't count liberals. That sounds like what you are arguing.
When all is said and done, you could throw out every democratic vote in Los Angeles and Clinton will still have won the popular vote. She is expected to top a 2 million vote lead when counting is finished.
Your argument comes down to "there are too many liberals in the country, so we shouldn't count liberal votes or the liberal candidate would win"
You really are disgusting.

Exclude LA, trump would have won the popular vote of every other county combined. If LA was removed from the count, Trump would have won the popular vote.

As nice as it would be if the entire state of California vanished tomorrow, it doesn't work that way.

Nah. Too many nice beaches to forever leave them to twits.
The residents of those three states are welcome to take Mexico. Alternatively, give them Washington.

- Democratic senate candidates received more votes than republican candidates.
- Democratic house candidates received more votes than republican candidates.
- The democratic presidential candidate got more votes than the republican..
- Democratic states have more people than republican states.
This is affirmative action for republicans.
Well, luckily, California doesn't get to elect the governor of Wyoming or the senators from South Dakota or any other state for that matter
In states with republican governors, the REPUBLICAN candidate got more votes than the democrat
In states with REPUBLICAN senators, the republican candidate got more votes than the democrat candidates did.
In states with REPUBLICAN representatives, the REPUBLICAN got more votes than the democrat

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.
Dude illegals can't vote...are you serious? LA has a large LEGAL and NATURALIZED Latin population. Wow. So ignorant.

have you noticed that neither hillary or obama have denounced the violence of the left, folks like koods and crystal g seem to pretend it doesnt happen, it's no wonder this the election went the way it did. because if we're going to have clowns running the show then it's best to get the best clown that the world had to offer and since he wasnt available we settled for trump instead

actually, you people refuse to denounce the violence on the right^ when someone does something, you say they are "actors".
so you're equally of ill-repute.
stfu you people are full of shit.
PS: (no one needs to denounce anything, if they don't want to. maybe some will keep their feelings to themselves. maybe they already did denounce it, but you didn't see it...you see everyone's posts?
again STFU, you people are full of shit. in fact, you're shit starters.)

he told them to vote? no, he said, they won't get harassed.

no, that's not telling them to vote. it's not even prevarication. he's answering her question straight-forward, and precisely. no, no one can harass or do searches on your person, for nothing...for "being an illegal". there's good reason why people don't just assume someone is "bad guy" and then detain and search them, and possibly arrest them...it's called the first & fourth amendment rights.

no one but you and your buttbuddies are even making such a comparison.
see, people who aren't shitting out bullshit, and are just discussing things, in general, these people don't endorse propaganda, and they'll generally hold the view that those whom commit violence are doing wrong, and that those whom are trying to create propaganda are also doing wrong.
some people need not take sides, and allow what is wrong on one side, to be ignored, for the sake that they are "on your side".
some people point out the bullshit in all regards, instead of just making comparisons between two coalitions, claiming one are saints and the other are evil; because both sides are doing stupid shit, it's only fair that they both be treated and viewed with the same demerits as one another; no comparison needed.
the protesters that are blocking roads and whom are committing to violence are being idiots, just like the prevaricating shifty Trump fans who'll propagate that "all liberals are violent neo-nazis" (or whatever have you, "they're evil" "they're human scum" ect)
if anyone said that "all republicans are nazis" (or whatever, again, ect ect), i'd proceed to correct them on that, just as well.

maybe not in your delusional, liberal mind but the reality that's giving illegals the big thumbs up to get out and vote. you can put your liberal spin on it anyway that you want but it doesnt change the facts
so when precicely did such an excellent orator get his words all mixed up where he would say "when you vote, you are a citizen" after someone made the claim that illegals were citizens in her own opinion.

he clearly explained himself, he said "when you vote, you are a citizen", and then he explained that what he means is that no one is treated like a non-citizen, ever, in the country, because of something called rights. it's against one's rights to treat someone like a criminal, when there is no proof they are one.
