I heard somebody on TV say how the electoral vote is unfair. This will be a talking point, as too many don’t get the concept that the states , and not voters directly, choose the president.

If you back out California’s votes, then trump got a landslide in the other 49,states.

Hillary only got 50 electoral votes from states in the interior of america. Almost all her support was from bicoastal liberal enclaves.

Who cares. The game is electoral votes so we do not have mob rule. We won. PERIOD!

Rasmussen polling is showing the support for eliminating the Electoral College is at an all time low! Thank you, Dr. Stein.

If direct voting were allowed, California would rule and the rest of us would be serfs.

Even with the Electoral College the Dems have an advantage. Look at IL, CA, and NY. Those states are entirely red except for the big cities which will automatically give the state to the Rats.

ND, SD, Alaska....all those states in the West have only like 2-3 electoral votes. Trump had to fight tooth and nail in so-called battleground states just to win.

I say strengthen the Electoral College. Counties should pick the President. Whoever wins the most counties in a state should win that state. That guarantees a 50-state landslide for Republicans.

If Electoral Votes are assigned by Congressional District (vote majority in each district), we would have a true reflection of voters’ choice, rather than the statewide “winner take all” scenario we currently have.

“In a winner take all” situation large block of votes in urban centers where voter fraud is easily conducted swings entire states to one candidate. Just look at Detroit where ballots were scanned more than once, and Broward County, Florida, where they were caught filling in blank absentee ballots.

If Electoral Votes were assigned by Congressional District (One Electoral Vote per Congressional District and one for each Senator, which is was was intended), we would never have had Obama for a second term, and probably would never have had him for his first term.

Currently Trump would have more than 306 Electoral Votes assigned to him. Think of California. Hillary would not have all 55 Electoral Votes. The voters in some Congressional District predominately voted for Trump. It was only the massive illegal vote in Southern California that gave all Electoral Votes to Hillary.

There are 3144 counties in the USA.

Trump won 82% of them. The biggest reason for the Electoral College is to keep a President being chosen by Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco & bay area counties, New York City, Virginia, Chicago, etc.

The founders were brilliant!!!

Remove the NOT ELIGIBLE voters & you will find that Trump won the popular vote, also,
