the delegates are not by law required to vote for their winners, but they almost always do

but nearly all of the time, they vote who ever won

~~My suffering can scarcely be described in words~~

Am I this bad at getting a straight answer from people <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

It's essentially the popular vote of each state, filtered through the electorate

@Fitzydog F i n a l l y

FPTP confirmed

<:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

@Ruggwain If you read the link I sent, you would have read that

Electorial College = Representative Republic. The US is NOT a Democracy.

@Ruggwain It's FPTP by default, because there's no law governing it

It's fptp either way

There's literally nothing the states can do

To prevent the presidential election

From being fptp

@Ruggwain They can change their own state voting laws

They can only alter their own elections and votes

@Fitzydog exactly

woomp woomp @Ruggwain

So it's FPTP

I award @Deleted User and @Ruggwain both ZERO points, cause you're both technically right.

@Fitzydog the best kind of right

BUUUTT, since Maine and Nebraska are propertional, the Preseidential election is technically a mixed-system vote.

Only because he was talking about something entirely different

It's not though

Maine and nebraska still have a winner takes all end result

They don't split up their electoral college points do they <:GWnanamiWhenLifeGetsAtYou:398860996535386126>

🤦

It's **District by district**

FPTP is a European concept? Most states have a winner takes all electorial college. Call it whatever you want, it's a Representative Republic where Commiefornia can't impose their politics on the whole union just because they have the people to win in a pure Democracy.

Bruh

If Maine had 33% of their populace vote for Gary Johnson, and they had 3 electorates, then they would require 1 of them to vote for Gary.

I'm not talking about in-state elections you drooling retard @Deleted User

@Ruggwain stupid fucking roach

@Fitzydog good you could have said that from the start

Thank you

You could have not been retarded from the start

So it's a predominantly FPTP system with an FPTP goal and 2 different mixed elements

Nice

Good to have settled on that

I want to die now
