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).
What a dipstick. All congressional elections are based on popular votes. Spectacular ignorance.
Yea, the people love them thats why in every friggin election THEY win the popular vote. Shut up already
Unless he is really stupid (a strong possibility) he probably means the grand total of votes around everywhere including CA and NY will add up to more for the total Dem candidates votes cast than the winning total votes that elected the GOP ones.
Which does not matter at all. A 1,000 vote victory in the Midwest counts as one member of the House and a 400,000 vote margin for a CA candidate who won also counts as one member.
I’m ready. I’ll even eat big bowl of popcorn against doctor orders
How can this happen? The Democrats win a number of their “safe” districts, by overwhelming (but entirely pointless) margins, whether by persuasion or by some variety of fraud. But the Republicans win a HUGE number of districts by relatively narrow margins (sometimes one percentage or less) but win just about all of them. What appeared to be “purple” and a tossup, broke at the last minute by independents and a number of what the Democrats considered to be their “core constituencies”, who deserted them, for the lure of better economic times.
This is a joke, yes?
They really are that STUPID!
He’s butt hurt because their national generic polls arent going to result in a blue wave
So if Democrats in California and New York win their seats by millions of illegal alien votes then they should be able to cede their extra votes to close races elsewhere. Yes that’s the ticket.
Rats don’t care about elections. They’d get rid of them completely if they could, and were in the majority.
Whenever they and their hideous totaltarianism lose/get rejected, it’s Never their fault.
Blame the system for being unfair to them.
Which baseball team got the most hits during the regular season which team got more runs in the championship in baseball cumulative?
These liberal idiots listen for whatever music is playing at the Trump Rally, and then go that groups official Twitter and spam the hell out of it with hate and boycott threats.
I just saw it happen with Journey.
Right! So they get 100% in some districts and less than 50% in others and end up losing a lot because their supporters concentrate in cities. They are hedging a potential disaster with the usual demagogic BS.
“I think he means we should add up all votes from all 435 House elections, by party, to see which party gets more votes. But as noted , such an exercise is meaningless.
“
That’s it. They see no use in districts, states, countries. They see a sea of useful voters to enable one-world communism.
I recall seeing the numbers years ago, when Dems controlled the House for something like 60 of 62 years. The actual number of aggregate votes for each party were about even. No complaints about fairness from the Left then!
Just because you failed 5th grade Civics, don’t project your ignorance on America.
Illegal aliens and dead people voting in massive numbers don’t count VOX. Hope we challenge every loss that even looks slightly “off”
The left is toying with the idea of violence because they can't get what they want through the ballot box.
Hopefully the left will not go violent and can see their way clear to support the United States Constitution.
Again with the popular vote talk. Already spinning their losses tomorrow.
