“ Every state needs an electoral college...”

It’s obvious. I never hear this from anyone. I said it last week

Herrera lost, heavily outspent. Didn’t help himself, the day before the runoff, American Memorial Day, deciding to post a youtube video review of the German STG-44.

It was close — VERY close — but Herrera lost.

It’s the only way to deal with the demo-commie mob. One electoral vote per county for state elections. (And federal)

I live in Virginia, Northern Virginia controls elections by sheer numbers, everyone else in the state is disenfranchised. But Virginia is not the only state, I think New York has a very similar problem and so does Michigan... any state with large population centers. I don’t even know if an electoral college is constitutional at the state level.

Tony is in a space of his own when it comes to trial lawyers. He’s one of a kind.

How do they know who is leading? Is it “count as you go”? No votes should be counted until all have been cast! In a general election, the rats would know how many they have to create to win.
