Pelican, you don't like the electoral college because the results didn't go your way.

Yes I do know the meaning of "pearls before swine", and you have made it abundantly obvious

that you possess no "pearls" to cast, and that you have absolutely no idea what you meant by "very approximate".

I also know that you have no idea what you are saying, and that you have to run and hide from what you say.

Your opinion is what's "fatally flawed".

Mr. big shot "patriot", your patriotic weaponry doesn't extend to even a minimum of literacy. I never said I don't like the electoral college. That's all your own fevered imagination. Try not sucking on those stores of ammunition; you might get less lead poisoning. Or remove them from your b***.

Such a mature explanation. IMHO, you have no explanation because of your response.

Of course I do! I'm not a democrat!
which is also why I believe in God, the constitution, and I think for myself.
You have no idea whether I'm bloated or not.
You have no idea what level of education I have.
IYou had better hope that you never get bursitis, you won't be able to pat yourself on the back.
Your analysis is still flawed.

This is the good news: "Hahahaha, you poor simpleton. Trump. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump. He's a far better man than you'll ever be. Sometimes you get so stupid and simple-minded you actually make us laugh." ???

It's not that I live in spiritual darkness (how would you even know how I live?) but that this Christian contempt for everyone who doesn't accept your particular understanding of the divine will is despicable.


Tell us YOUR understanding of divine will!!

You say: "Your analysis is still flawed". So, I would like to know what mistake you see. This is a genuine request, not more of my snark. So please, if you can, give me a genuine response.

"assume there are 200 million voters distributed among 50 states", "assume each state uses the "winner take all" method" Your math is correct but only works to fit your assumption, not the real world.
1.) There are not nor ever will be evenly distributed population numbers in each state.
2.) Some states are winner takes all while others are pro-rated.
When you quit assuming you will realize why the Electoral college was put into play. Some states, mine included need an electoral college so that a few cities cannot control the vote for the rest of the state.

When the Founders set up the electoral college scheme for electing the president, it seemed like a good idea. But the way it functions now contains a fatal problem.

To show the principle involved I am going to use very approximate numbers. Those who can't handle simple arithmetic, and those who don't understand what "very approximate" means, need read no further.

Let's assume there are 200 million voters distributed among 50 states, so each state has 4 million voters. We also assume each state uses the "winner take all" method. To win the election a candidate then needs to win 26 states. In each state he needs 2M plus 1 votes. So altogether he needs to win 52,000,026 votes, which just over a quarter of the total votes. In this way a demagogue with a solid base of less than a third of the electorate can become president.

==============
I hope you don't insult people here of your simple arithmetic.
Here is the way how Electoral College are assigned and numbered.

Please let me simplify this for you.

The number of Electoral College are equal to the number of Senators and Representatives on each state. Currently we have the total of 538 Representatives and Senators.

2 Senators for each 50 States =100 Senators.
Currently we have 438 Representatives for the 50 States.
Total Current Electoral College will be 538.

Presidential candidate who garnered 270 Electoral College votes wins the election, even if he loses the popular votes.

How Representatives are assigned on each 50 States.
Representatives are assigned according to the number of populations of their state. More populated states like California have more representatives.

How the Constitution assign Representatives.
Article I, Section II of the Constitution says that each state shall have at least one U.S. Representative, while the total size of a state's delegation to the House depends on its population. At present, the number of Representative cannot be greater than one for every thirty thousand people.

That is why, Biden and his team invited 12 million Illegal Aliens to America is to populate the states and to add more Democrat Representatives. Every time the Representative increases, the Electoral College also increases. Therefore, they always hold the majority Power of Congress, the White House, and also can now revise the makeup of the Supreme Court to all Democrat-Communist Justices to control power for life.

Therefore having this control, they always win and control the country for life. These is the most important reason why Joe Biden allowed 12 million or more illegal aliens to America. He calls them undocumented

Why did the Founders Assign the Electoral College to decide the election? The purpose was to allow all states of the union to participate on this election process.

Without the Electoral College, only the biggest populated States like California, New York, and or Florida, and Texas could decide results of the election. The rests of the states are disenfranchised.

The decisions of the Founders were smart that maintained the Equal Rights for all citizens.

"the electoral college is fatally flawad" was YOUR topic, illiterate one.

Now you profess that " I never said I don't like the electoral college".

So, now you don't dislike what you claim is "fatally flawad"?

Watching you stumble all over yourself has been interesting, please don't stop.

If you were to have brain cancer, I might say that you were "fatally flawed". It wouldn't then follow that I don't like you. It just would mean that you have a problem which might need addressing.

C'mon, Gatsby, it's not that hard.
