How America’s electoral college favours white voters

A ballot cast in New Hampshire is 100,000 times likelier to tip the result than one in Washington, DC

(Interesting graphic at the link)

Here’s what their next article won’t be about: Eskimo voters in Alaska have 47 zillion times more influence in Electoral College than white voters in Mississippi.

Rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth Control Freaks.

Without the Electoral College, the small states would have never ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1788.

Without lawful slavery, the southern states would have never joined the “United” States of America.

In other words, the USA, as we know it today, would have never existed.

It’s past time to become aracial.

Then move to New Hampshire!

Problem solved.

[Brown Deer]

WAIT!

New Hampshire has 4 electoral votes with a population of 1.4 million and Washington D.C. gets 3 electoral votes but only half that number of people.

So the Brits (based on the headline) are saying that our electoral college should be based on the black population of our Country?

I don't understand because they only have a meaningless chart with no words, except a racist headline.

What do they mean by 1 in a trillion for D.C. and 1 in a million for New Hampshire? This makes absolutely no sense!

White electoral privilege.

[Feckless]

There is NO Restriction for leaving DC.

There is NO Restriction for moving to Connecticut.

You need a brain for the first action.

I think you may need to lack a brain for the second.

> Very evil premise... <

Yes, indeed. The author cherry-picked two areas (New Hampshire and DC) to antagonize the races as much as possible.

I wonder why he didn’t pick, say, Illinois and Idaho instead. Oh, wait. I know why. That wouldn’t stir up as much racial hate as New Hampshire and DC would.

Because they’re obsessed with race.

Please just make it stop!  

Every citizen is an individual, not a heritage potato.

Poster forgot /s

These people are really fomenting a race war. Should they succeed, we must do anything and everything to ensure the white race wins.

[Theoria]

[Vigilanteman]

You could substitute "people who live in diverse neighborhoods and are less likely to engage in identity politics, groupthink and block voting" for "white voters" in the headline and it would be more accurate.

And, yes, that was one of the purposes of the electoral college.

[Panzerfaust]

Well said!

[jocon307]

This is from The Economist, they are not joking.

[CJ Wolf]

So when Trump wins the popular and the electoral votes hands down, what will they say? that’s next. Racist Woke Supremacists will stop at nothing.

[Sapwolf]

I don’t have to read this to know it is silly.

Besides, the Economist is a globalist rag.
