It’s been over 2 years
Trump didn't win fair and square, more people voted for Clinton.
Either way, our president would suck.
@Anon365 winning with the electoral college is still winning fair and square
So the person who gets the least votes should win?
No. Whoever gets the most electoral votes wins
That isn't really fair
It just so happens there are times when you can get less popular vote while having more electoral votes
Most of the time, you win the college because you won the popular vote
"Most of the time"
I want it to be All The Time
Otherwise, it isn't democratic
There have been over 900 bills proposed to get rid of the college
If it was really so bad, and everyone didn't like it, then how come none of them came to fruition?
Polls have shown that Americans don't want to keep the EC
Doesn't matter what they want
It matters if the bill passes
And it hasn't
That's True
We should get rid of it
But it won't for some reason
It's not like the electoral college goes and ignores what the people vote for anyway
Basically all the states give all their electoral votes to the candidate who won the popular vote
Sure, but the votes are disproportionate
The electoral college allows for the less populated states' votes to have the same impact as the more populated states, so everyone actually matters
It weights votes differently and assigns electors based on population.
But why should your location matter?
And why over power the small state?
I would be fine with it if the "winner takes all" system is removed
That's unacceptable
electoral college is based off of checks and balances so everyone gets a say in the election process
What about the Republicans in the Blue states and the Democrats in the Red states?
There vote is heard
How So?
You get to vote
Sure, but your vote won't count in the end because the state is guaranteed to vote one party
So everyone voice is heard
Your vote won't count
