I don’t think it’s “meaningless”. I can actually understand how Hillary supporters might think it’s not fair that the winner of the popular vote didn’t win the election. What they refuse to understand though is that 84% of the counties in the U.S. didn’t want to let a handful of densely populated Democrat strongholds decide the election for the entire country.
They’re going to have to deal with it or succeed.
Is there a Red/Blue map by precinct out yet?
The vote is at the core of the disagreement between republican and democrat.
The popular vote is democracy, the electoral college is a republic. If they change this one rule, republicanism is dead.
Winning the popular vote is a misnomer. The libs use states as an tool to control many functions like education, business, raw materials, and even crimes. But when they can’t produce the result they are after, they always try to take their efforts using the public popularity due to size to try to gain an advantage. Even to the point of using people right out in the open like they did with Jill Stein this year.
I have to concede the libs are going to take the popular vote in most elections because they control the states with the most people in them. When they say they lost the election because they didn’t get three “swing” states, it isn’t because they lost the states, it’s because they lost the votes.
If you give Hilary the three states, she still didn’t carry half the states, 26 to 24. But by going after certain states, and if she wins the states anyway. she will get the win not based upon the vote of the people, but the size of the states. So where is that popular vote now? The early southern democrats did the same thing using the amount of slaves they had to control the house and senate with voting capacity. Same thing. And here’s what happens.
Here in Washington state, we have a county, named King appropriately, that controls the entire state due to population. Yes, there are so many people in King county, that they have more votes than the rest of the state, combined. Whatever they vote, happens. Does that sound correct. I don’t.
