I don't think people are ready for the crisis that will follow if Democrats win the House popular vote but not the majority.
After Kavanaugh, Trump, Garland, Citizens United, Bush v. Gore, etc, the party is on the edge of losing faith in the system (and reasonably so).
It has been said that a large majority of the immigrants from some countries have an average IQ of 80. They will probably vote democrat.
This means that the average IQ of the democrat will increase several points so there is still hope out there.
This is why they’re already saying the system is broken.

I reached out to sources running GOP campaigns in tight state races to get their read heading into election
Their responses shocked even me:
- “Libs will cry tomorrow”
- “This polling is better than ‘14 & ‘16”
- “Your red wave shit is spot fu**ing on”
- “The Red Wave is real
Nate Silver signing on to “popular vote” spin for Dems losing tomorrow!

Every state regardless of the population is guaranteed at least one representative. 746000 per Representative in California, 579000 per Representative in Wyoming.
Now they’re going to try to add the votes of LA County to the votes of some rural Texas district?
“The popular vote”, so damn dumb
It’s libs finding something to cling on to after they lose again.
Notice they aren’t getting the message. They aren’t moving to the middle or changoing policies.
” The Constitution is also older than six months. Also true. “
How very astute. Good to see that you got the point, not.
The system of proportional representation is used in some national legislatures. What it does is to stimulate the formation of many small parties which necessitates the formation of coalition governments.
In a parliamentary system of government Donald Trump would not have been elected Prime Minister, but then again neither would Barack Obama.
Under that type of system, the states themselves are reduced to mere administrative regions. They have no relevance beyond that.
So entertaining to watch these idiots lose all sense of logic to invent these crises.
They could win the majority vote nationwide and still lose the house.
“This guy has no clue apparently. The house is elected by popular vote in each District represented.
How could they win the popular vote but lose the house?”
You have no clue.
Of course, no basis to such a crisis at all.
So what if a few dozen congressional seats are voting with overwhelming blue votes that skew the overall totals?
First, the Dems are good for millions of illegal votes each election anyway.
Second, the good news is they wouldn’t be starting to push this (Nate Silver was the first I saw with it), unless they think they won’t retake the House.
If the win one district by 100,000 votes and lose all the others by one vote they would have only one seat but a big margin in total votes....
“They don’t know House seats are distributed based on population?”
You need some civics and math refreshers.
Oh boy, another topic no one is allowed to discuss.
Blowout wins in Democrat districts, close losses in Republican districts. That would lead to a "win" in the fictional overall national "popular vote" for the House. You're awfully nasty and negative about others having no clue when you're on shaky ground yourself.
Learn how to post.
Would you care to enlighten my benighted self as to just what it is that I might need to learn as far as posting, lol?
What the heck is wrong with you, just constant crabbing. Are you ever positive?
