Impossible for you to have a civil conversation, huh? What a horse's ass! But we already knew that!

There are several opp’ers that suffer from being the south end of a north bound mule. They have major character flaws. I am choosing not to converse with them any longer as they are only out to insult people to try and make themselves feel better about who they are

fullspinzoo

You are spot on, Calsonserv. I choose to do exactly the same thing. There are at least three or four (one who has the cojones to call himself very religious) who bring new meaning to the word "arrogant". They can't be the least bit civil, and for that reason, I have decided not to give them the 'time of day'. They're easy to spot, and if the rest of you would ignore them, maybe with a little bit of luck, they'll go away.

Nice try. You are assuming that the 200 million are distributed equally, if the population is distributed equally then your theory makes sense, 1/3 to win. However that is flawed based upon. The distribution. Of the 200 million.

So say, three states, California, Texas, and New York, have greater than 1/4 of the population, leaving the other states combined the other 1/4 of the population. These three states would decide the election based upon your premise, this describes the popular vote.

Now if we look at how the amount electors is distributed amongst the states, thats where the balance comes into play.

Better explanation would be if you read the federalist papers, I believe it was by Hamilton or Madison, where they define the system of the electoral college and the balance mechanism.

The locals have the most power, for it is through the local system, where the winner is drawn from. This removes in theory any political machine. For it is the counties, that make up the electoral college, but these counties are bound by thier perspective state. Whosoever wins the majority of the counties wins the state, and its from the counties that the electors are drawn from.

Also, the people trust the elector to vote for the will of the county they represent. If the elector flips, at time to cast the vote, it is the right and duty of the county to take action against the elector, who is bound according to local law to do his duty. If he is found derelict, then as the local law provides he hid thus held to account.

Local laws and states laws govern electors.

Thus, your thesis is flawed considering that the math assumes equality of population as compared to reality of the unequal distribution of population.

Billdingleberry, if you actually read the Constitution, you would know that Senators were to be elected by the state legislatures and were to represent the states interest of the states. The Representatives were elected by the people and were to represent them. The 17th Amendment changed that and it should not have been changed IMHO. This was one of the checks and balances that the Founding Fathers wanted. The Electoral College system was included in the Constitution to prevent a small number of states from over riding the majority of states. That might be hard for you to understand, but it was the correct thing to do for our Republic.

The only people who support abolishing electoral college are the people who live in cities that have high enough numbers to decide who our next president will be. Oh and crooked politicians

Serious question. Are you a Gen Z?

publican

No. Another serious question. Are you a bot?

Big Kahuna

Congratulations, you spelled brain and flawed correctly. Now line up for your participation trophy 🏆.

We know you are a snot.

I'm guessing by your response you're younger than Gen Z. Perhaps a sorry, smart ass little maggot whose father neglected to whip his ass often enough?
