Title: Electoral  Votes
Post by MnSpring on 11/02/16 at 18:55:24

Electoral  Votes.
The way it is now,  (Except Maine & Neb)
A  State, (48 of them,) depending on it’s  ‘total’ votes
Gives  ALL  of that  States, Electoral votes TO, the highest State Vote.

Take,  Calf,  55, Electoral votes.
A,  Safe  State for  the Democrats.
(Like Minn, where they have 10 Electoral votes)

In Calf, counties like LA, and SF,  Hugely Overwhelmed the % of votes.
(Surprising  S. Diego. was very close), of the State.

Out of the 58 Counties,  (this is stats from the 2012 election)
26  Counties, voted  R, and 32 voted  D.
(Don’t know where the District Lines are),

But think of this:
What If,  Calf was like Maine or  Neb.
(Where the, popular vote, carries the  Electoral vote, by how, THAT, District, votes.
And two Electoral Votes, are how the  State Votes)

So, 2 for the D, (By the State)
and say 2/3’s of  districts are D.  (=35  E.C. Votes)
But, 18, E.C. Votes, are  R.
(Yes  Lost, and the Troll, their is a  1/2,  Just rounded it off for example.)

So the final tally would have been,  D = 37  R = 18 /  Not,   D. = 55  &  R. =  0
( In Minn, (their 10 EC Votes), it would have been, a  5 - 5  split.)

Take JUST, those two States.  JUST those two, it would be:
D = 42.    R. = 23.   Rather  Significant difference between, 65-D / 0- R.

Now a  Lot of talk, about, doing Only the  Popular  Vote,
and a lota talk about staying the same.

Guess what,  Is  up to the  STATE,  to decide.
Yep the  STATE  !!!!!!!!
(Remember that little thing, about,  ’States  Rights”?)

The Electoral Collage  system, is,  IN  the Constitution.
So to take it out, would require a 2/3’s vote, and many years.
But  NOTHING, said of  HOW,  the  STATE,  decides how the E.C. Votes are decided.

So, you in N. Calf, get to work on it.
I will start in Minn.

Any Other people, gonna  put down the Pizza, turn off the T.V. and work on their State ?

ME/NE,  allocate two Electoral Votes to the popular vote winner in the  State, and then one each to the popular vote winner in each Congressional district in their State.

of course, rig the system, that's how you conservatives/republicans play
you jerry rig house representation districts

well all know you are too chicken to go popular vote  ::)

Did some research on this, and you may or may not like the results

http://www.occasionalplanet.org/2016/03/18/electoral-votes-awarded-proportionally-2/

You'd have to get the Democratic states to switch and leave the Republican states as they are if you really want to rig the election into Republican favor.

If all the states do this, you actually end up with a more or less, popular vote outcome.  

from the link:
"Award electoral votes proportionally by state popular vote?

The other way to change how we vote for president would be for each state to change the way it instructs its electors vote. Forty-eight states require that all electors in their state vote for the candidate who received the largest popular vote in their state. The other two states, Maine and Nebraska, use a somewhat different system, which at most can only change one electoral vote for the entire state. However, if each of the states agreed to allot their electors proportionally to the popular vote in the state, we would have a completely different outcome from what normally happens in presidential elections. It would be very close to the outcome of a popular vote election:

2012 Electoral Vote: Obama 62%; Romney 38%

2012 Popular Vote: Obama 50%, Romney 49%

2012 Proportional Electoral Vote by State: Obama 51%, Romney 49%

Beneath these numbers is the reality that with proportional electoral voting by state, the outcome would be just one percent different from the popular vote. It would be much closer to the will of the people than the present Electoral College. It would clearly be a much more democratic process. However, this method would only work if all fifty states agreed to allocate their electors proportionally. The likelihood of that would be less than that of passing a constitutional amendment to abolish the Electoral College and replace it with the popular vote."

dig around some more and see what you think

Would be the same at it is now.

As your  research, (if you have done it),

Why,  NOT, let the  PEOPLE,  Decide,
The  People that  VOTE,
The  People, That,  PAY.
Why not let the  STATE Decide ????

Heck, you live in TX,  so the  STATE,   Now,
Gives ALL  it's E.V. to one person.
If the  STATE,  adopted, the  MA/NE, way.
  YOU,  'could' get a  district, you live in, to vote the other way.
 'Could', That is, if people, in you district,
all vote,

Title: Re:  Electoral  Votes

Here's the 538 take:

http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/01/25/electoral-college-changes-would-pose-danger-for-democrats/?_r=0

"An Electoral College based on Congressional districts would be decidedly more friendly to Republican presidential candidates than the current system. Democratic-leaning voters tend to live in more densely populated areas, making for a less efficient distribution of votes. And Republicans were in charge in many states when districts were redrawn after the 2010 census."

so you need some kinda weird hodpodge of these ideas to make it work for Republicans, which just means that you are a "the ends justify the means" kind of person...   you know, like almsot ALL current politicians

you need to stop squinting and see the WHOLE picture, but like most conservatives, you can't handle complicated things, even AFTER I explained it to you

if you make ALL the states do proportional electoral votes, because you BELIEVE that that is a more fair way to distribute the votes, FINE WITH ME, because that makes it MORE LIKE a POPULAR vote (surprising me that you want this, cause like you said, Republicans DON'T like the idea of a popular vote, wonder why?)  

but what you want is a rigged system, cause otherwise YOU DON"T WIN

? What will the electors do if Hilary wins the general election but gets indicted before they cast their vote in mid-December? It's a possibility like we've not seen before.

Everyone knows the Clinton Foundation is a shakedown organization, but what if Huma rolls over (or someone else) and hands over what we all know is out there but hidden? Would enough of the electors not vote for her knowing impeachment proceedings would begin the day she took office?


Title: Re:  Electoral  Votes

Would they vote Trump just to keep their jobs?
The People just Might be unhappy with them.
Or, are they part of the cancer on the world that Hillary is?
They can always get a high paying, gravy job in the corrupt system they would be protecting by lifting the Pustule into office.

Title: Re:  Electoral  Votes
Post by WebsterMark on 11/03/16 at 05:41:19

i'm not sure. If I recall, and I could be wrong, if the electorial college cannot give 270 votes to a candidate, the the House of Representatives selectes the President. Same for the Vice President.

So imagine justice is served and Hilary is dragged away in cuffs. I can't see 270 votes for that sack of potatoes Tim Kane. Would they hand it to Bernie? Can't see that. Would they enlist Biden? That I can imagine, he gets the office without the hassle of a campaign. But what if he really doesn't want it or they can't get 270? I can't see enough of the electors switching to Trump.

So then it goes to the Republican controlled House. President Paul Ryan? President Rubio? The Democratic electors could swallow that easier than President Trump.
