IN a state

2019-06-27 03:37:21 UTC  

So let's take 2016 election

2019-06-27 03:37:36 UTC  

If Texas had 1,000,000 votes for Hillary Clinton

2019-06-27 03:37:45 UTC  

but Texas had 1,000,001 votes for Donald Trump

2019-06-27 03:37:51 UTC  

Texas give all of their 38 electoral votes to Donald Trump

2019-06-27 03:37:54 UTC  

Winner-takes-all

2019-06-27 03:37:58 UTC  

Damn

2019-06-27 03:38:02 UTC  

which is why popular vote doesnt matter

2019-06-27 03:38:11 UTC  

you can have 5 million californians bonus vote to your popular vote count

2019-06-27 03:38:23 UTC  

but their electoral votes will not be counted as strongly as someone from texas

2019-06-27 03:38:34 UTC  

Or Wyoming

2019-06-27 03:38:37 UTC  

exactly

2019-06-27 03:38:43 UTC  

Wyomingetes have the most power

2019-06-27 03:38:44 UTC  

Now for Maine

2019-06-27 03:38:49 UTC  

They use a joint-system

2019-06-27 03:38:57 UTC  

*split elector

2019-06-27 03:39:04 UTC  

whatever it's called and renamed nowadays

2019-06-27 03:39:07 UTC  

with split electors

2019-06-27 03:39:16 UTC  

It means your electoral votes are delegated proportionally

2019-06-27 03:39:23 UTC  

If half wanted Trump and half wanted Clinton

2019-06-27 03:39:23 UTC  

Nebraska also uses that

2019-06-27 03:39:29 UTC  

really?

2019-06-27 03:39:35 UTC  

nebraska as well then

2019-06-27 03:39:39 UTC  

and it's very interesting

2019-06-27 03:39:44 UTC  

Now if half wanted trump and half wanted clinton

2019-06-27 03:39:53 UTC  

then the state will *attempt* to delegate half of their electoral votes to trump and to clinton

2019-06-27 03:40:00 UTC  

and whoever has the most will get the leftovers ofc

2019-06-27 03:40:00 UTC  

Nebraska always has all go to republicans tho

2019-06-27 03:40:08 UTC  

so if maine has 3, then 1 will go to trump and 1 will go to clinton

2019-06-27 03:40:17 UTC  

however since trump had 3 more people voting for him than clinton

2019-06-27 03:40:21 UTC  

maine will use that remainder for trump

2019-06-27 03:40:23 UTC  

Interesting

2019-06-27 03:40:25 UTC  

Maine has 4

2019-06-27 03:40:29 UTC  

which is lucky

2019-06-27 03:40:36 UTC  

if they had an odd number

2019-06-27 03:40:37 UTC  

ppl would get mad

2019-06-27 03:40:45 UTC  

Nebraska has a odd number

2019-06-27 03:40:48 UTC  

4 and 1

2019-06-27 03:40:51 UTC  

now

2019-06-27 03:40:52 UTC  

Lol on when Ohio goes Red again

2019-06-27 03:40:55 UTC  

What really happens
