Rosie O’Donnell Wants ‘Racist’ Electoral College Abolished as Trump Wins Popular Vote

| 11/07/2024 | David Ng
A clearly dejected Rosie O’Donnell is pushing for the abolishment of the Electoral College following President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding win over Kamala Harris — neglecting to mention the fact that Trump won both the electoral and popular votes on Tuesday. Rosie O’Donnell — whose long-standing Trump rivalry goes back years, if not
decades — posted a TikTok video following Trump’s victory. Suffering from what appeared to be the flu, the former talkshow host was in a somber mood but managed to keep it together until part way through the video, when she called the Electoral College “racist. “And how ’bout...

Electoral College Faithful "Faithless" Electors as Insurance Policy

So, it looks like Trump is going to get over 300 EVs. However, there are going to be Dem's who will stop at nothing still to try to deny him the Presidency on January 6th. We
cannot overlook this risk. And there is a solution for this. Have 2-3 Electors, with the blessing of the winners, switch their President/VP votes to have JD as President and Trump as Vice President. And here's hwo it could end up on January 6th: President: Trump 309, Harris 226, Vance 3 Vice President: Vance 309, Harris 226, Trump 3 Trump/Vance announced as winners. But...

This is the 2020 electoral map... Keep in mind... Republican states are blue, Democrat states are red. Dave
maintains the historical original colors adopted by the political parties decades before the mainstream media and Democrats coopted the color blue in the 1990s. Blue has always historically been the Republican/Conservative color both in America and worldwide. Red has always historically been the Democrat/Liberal color both in America and worldwide. So it may take some adjusting for political newbies. Dave's site will allow you to modify this 2020 map to achieve the electoral vote totals that you are predicting... It's an awesome...

Wargaming the Electoral College: 'I Wanna Be Sedated' Edition

Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go, I wanna be sedated." —The
Ramones The closing week of the 2024 presidential election is perhaps as close to what schizophrenia feels like as the non-afflicted will ever experience. Or at least that's how it's been for me. "Nobody knows anything" was screenwriter William Goldman's pithy summary of filmmaking — and the same goes for this election. That's why I've spent the last week wildly oscillating between confidence in Donald Trump's inevitable victory to existential dread over Kamala Harris's with a few pauses along the rapidly sliding scale between the two. Here's why: Iowa's...

Harris' attempt to cozy up to Arab and Muslim voters spectacularly backfires and threatens to cost her 19 Electoral College votes and potentially the election

Kamala Harris has been warned she runs the risk of losing the state of Pennsylvania and the election if she does not denounce anti-Israel activists who have appeared on the campaign trail for her. The
incumbent Vice President is set to campaign in Pittsburgh on Election Eve as the race for the White House enters its final hours alongside the likes of Lady Gaga. Backlash has been brewing in the city after her campaign hosted speakers who have blamed Israel for being partly-responsible for the horrific October 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists. Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and Allegheny County Executive...

CNN data guru says there is a 60% chance the election ends with an ‘Electoral College blowout’

| 10/25/24 | Alexander Hall
CNN data expert Harry Enten said that despite it being a close race on the surface, there is a high chance that the election will actually end with the winner receiving over 300 Electoral College votes. CNN
news host John Berman noted that the election seems “historically close,” but asked, “What if it’s not?” He then turned to CNN senior political data reporter Enten to break down the numbers and observed, “As close as it is, and we do believe it‘s super-close right now, that also means that if things change, even just a little bit, it‘s not really close.”...

Welcome to the "Would You Like Fries with That?" edition of Wargaming the Electoral College, your semi-occasional glimpse into the what-ifs and prognostications of the 2024 presidential election. For
what it's worth, I first started doing these — using photocopied U.S. maps and blue and red magic markers — during my sophomore year at Mizzou during the 1988 election. Which is my way of admitting I was not a well young man. That election was a gimme, with George H.W. Bush successfully running for Ronald Reagan's third term, and what a shame he didn't deliver. So I called all 50...

Donald Trump Has to Love This News From Nate Silver's 2024 Electoral College Projection

Republicans should keep the champagne on ice until the election results are official and act like we’re trailing due to the institutional goliaths we’re facing this election cycle—but one thing cannot be denied: we’re in good shape to win the election. It’s
not over, but Joe Biden had a seven-point advantage over Trump in 2024. There’s no pandemic. And Kamala Harris is irritating everyone. Even the most ardent Trump-hater cannot deny that the former president is polling better than ever. While it’s a tight race, Trump has reclaimed the advantage in Nate Silver’s Electoral College projection: 🚨BREAKING: Nate Silver just...

Wargaming the Electoral College for 2024: Is Pelosi Sharpening Her Knives for Harris?

| 10/16/2024 | Stephen Green
The Polymarket betting odds quickly tilted so heavily in Donald Trump's favor — bettors prefer him 60/40 over Kamala Harris this morning — that Nancy Pelosi just put in another order with Long Knives. She ordered two sets, one for doing in Harris and the second for Tim Walz. Enter stage left,
Gavin Newsom. I'm kidding, of course. It's much too late (I think) to pull yet another presidential candidate switcheroo. But you'd better believe it's a notion Pelosi entertained last night while finishing off her first bottle of chardonnay. Harris, you see, is flailing. Her latest pitch is to...

Tim Walz tries — and fails — to walk back call to end Electoral College in ‘GMA’ interview (video)

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz appeared to double down Thursday on his support for getting rid of the Electoral College — despite getting smacked down by the Harris campaign the first time he called for the radical constitutional change. “Well,
it’s not the campaign’s position, and the point that I’m trying to make is that there’s folks that feel like every vote must count in every state,” the Democratic vice presidential nominee told ABC News “Good Morning America” co-host Michael Strahan in an interview. “And I think some of the folks feel that that’s not the case.” During a campaign fundraiser...

Electoral College Map Flips State to Donald Trump (Michigan)

A key swing state has flipped in favor of Donald Trump, according to a new Electoral College map projection. RealClearPolitics'
polling tracker shows that, with no toss-up states, Michigan has flipped in favor of Trump, with the former president now half a point ahead of his opponent, Kamala Harris, in the state, on 48.5 percent to her 48 percent. It's the first time that the tracker has shown Trump ahead in the state, which Joe Biden flipped to blue in 2020, since July 29. Trump's lead in Michigan means the pollster is now forecasting that the former president will win...

The Harris campaign quickly stepped in and issued a statement after Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said the electoral college “needs to go” in favor of a national popular vote. The
Minnesota governor made the comments during a fundraiser at the home of California Governor Gavin Newsom in Sacramento. “I think all of us know the electoral college needs to go,” Walz said. “But that’s not the world we live in.”

DHS designates Electoral College vote count as special national security event

Wash Times ^
| Sep 11 | By Stephen Dinan
Homeland Security on Wednesday officially designated the Electoral College vote count and certification as a special national security event, putting the U.S. Secret Service in charge of security surrounding the process. The
move comes in response to the 2021 count, which saw a mob storm the Capitol to try to head off the count that certified President Biden as the winner over former President Donald Trump. The vote counting joins other major events such as the national nominating conventions, presidential inaugurations and the president’s annual State of the Union address.

David Frum did stop short of banging his fists or stamping his feet. But
on today's CNN This Morning, the Trump-detesting Canadian could not contain his frustration at the prospect that, thanks to the "probably stupid" rules of the Constitution, Trump could win the election with an Electoral College majority despite losing the popular vote count. Frum was responding to a statement by Edward-Isaac Dovere that some in the Kamala camp believe that if the election were held today, she would lose. Frum began by claiming: "We need to be more specific about what we mean by 'lose." Depends on...
