why the fuck does california have the most delegates?

2017-01-29 02:09:58 UTC  

in the electoral colege or whatever

2017-01-29 02:09:59 UTC  

Most populous state.

2017-01-29 02:11:20 UTC  

its interesting then

2017-01-29 02:11:34 UTC  

because texas for example gets less delegates for the number of people it has

2017-01-29 02:11:53 UTC  

Idk the mechanics behind it.

2017-01-29 02:11:58 UTC  

But ❤ TX

2017-01-29 02:12:01 UTC  

florida too

Wow DC over the whole state of Wyoming.

2017-01-29 02:24:11 UTC  

not sure why they don't make all states the same amount of delegates

2017-01-29 02:24:18 UTC  

but then alaska would have like one delegate

2017-01-29 02:38:03 UTC  

Ok, All states start out with an automatic 2 electoral votes no matter the size/population

2017-01-29 02:38:26 UTC  

its 3 though isn't it?

2017-01-29 02:39:42 UTC  

Yes

2017-01-29 02:40:04 UTC  

2 for the automatic 2, and one based on population

2017-01-29 02:40:36 UTC  

It makes small States have a bigger punch

2017-01-29 02:40:54 UTC  

Oklahoma's population is much smaller than New Yorks..

2017-01-29 02:41:05 UTC  

So my vote is worth more than someone in New York voting 😛

2017-01-29 02:41:06 UTC  

so even though say montana has a population of a million

2017-01-29 02:41:15 UTC  

wyoming still has the same number of delegates

2017-01-29 02:41:40 UTC  

Yes

2017-01-29 02:41:45 UTC  

even though they have half the pop

2017-01-29 02:41:47 UTC  

Wyoming has half of Montana's Population

2017-01-29 02:43:12 UTC  

It's a winner-take-all system for most states to

2017-01-29 02:43:31 UTC  

So if you win a state you win all the votes with the exception of a couple states that it's based on district

2017-01-29 02:44:13 UTC  

Originally our electoral system was.. simple..

2017-01-29 02:44:21 UTC  

But as more States were added to the Union.. it got...

2017-01-29 02:44:28 UTC  

'little complicated

2017-01-29 02:45:57 UTC  

The downside of having increasingly complex and Byzantine voting systems...

2017-01-29 02:46:12 UTC  

Is that it's easier to cheat...

2017-01-29 02:51:36 UTC  

fucking soros! get out of my voting machines! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

2017-01-29 03:35:08 UTC

Feodor Vassilyev was a peasant from Shuya, Russia. His first wife lived to be 76 and, between 1725 and 1765, had 69 children (16 pairs of twins, 7 sets of triplets and 4 sets of quadruplets) 67 of them survived infancy with the loss of one set of twins. Vassilyev's first wife set the record for most children birthed by a single woman

2017-01-29 05:41:11 UTC  

The data about Vassilyev's children is included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

2017-01-29 05:41:29 UTC

2017-01-29 05:41:32 UTC
