The Nightmare Scenario for Democrats Still Exists Within the Electoral College

It circles back to what Wasserman wrote back in 2019, which is that Trump could afford to lose the popular vote by millions and still win re-election. It's just the structure. Democratic states are populous, yes—and they're already reliably Democratic in the Electoral College math. You cannot win by just winning the coasts and the cities, which are Democratic bastions. Hillary Clinton proved that. You need rural voters. You need people who aren't part of the snobby condescending base of the Democratic Party who think people who aren't like them should suffer and die off. Our system requires geographic diversity—and liberals aren't supportive of that concept. Case in point, for all of Biden and Kamala's talk about unity, you know it's crap. They're only going to serve the interests of those in urban America. Period.

Thus Mrs rktman's idea. One county, one electoral vote. It would at least force the democommies to actually devote some time to rural Americans.

Rearranging deck chairs.

These writers do not know what is going on.

Better, the winner of the congressional district gets that electoral vote. Winner of overall popular vote in that state gets the 2 senatroial electors. That way the people in the Congressional districts votes actually count.

One county, one electoral vote.

Texans would love that, with 254 counties, more than a few with populations under 1K. They would have more electoral votes than CA, OR, NY, NJ, MA, MD, CT, DE, NH and VT combined. You wouldn't even bother campaigning in blue states.

“Reliably Democratic blue states” might not be as blue as they are presented - just lots of institutionalized cheating.

We should have the military run our elections for a few cycles with the units assigned randomly. In person voting on paper ballots, election day only, mandatory voter ID. Then have the units randomly swapped around to count all the votes three times, live, on video broadcast over the internet. Anybody trying any funny business gets arrested and tried in a military tribunal.

The least accurate units get posted to the arctic circle or some other “paradise” until the next election.

I bet we have zero fraud.

I don’t care how much it would cost. This election likely cost us our whole country.

I listened to Rush today and some guy calls up and keeps talking about the “electorial college”. Drove me nuts. I wish Rush would’ve corrrected him.

That’s almost nearly as irritating as hearing “Democratic party”.

It’s “RAT party” after all !

No, the dems would end up with 5 million votes, even though that is beyond ridiculous the media would not say a word and Judge Roberts would say “no standing” to any suits.

I think we should votes per acre, one vote per acre.

Those that live in some shitty apartment building could share a vote or two that the building sets on.

Farmers would then get the respect they deserve with 100’s of votes.

Try banning cow farts now bitch!

Or by net taxes paid. People who suck from the public teet get no input, but if you raise my taxes, you just gave me more power to throw you out.

We're at least four generations into public school system functional illiteracy.

I live in rural Pennsylvania where fairly well educated people still; " .... seen this guy yesterday"

I live in rural Oklahoma and when my wife and I went to vote it took a two hour wait to make it to the front of the line. One person in line commented something to the effect, “Look at all extra Trump voters!” I turned to my wife and said it doesn’t matter if there are extra voters in line, Oklahoma only get 7 electoral votes for President.”

“Thus Mrs rktman’s idea. One county, one electoral vote. It would at least force the democommies to actually devote some time to rural Americans.”

My idea is something like that. One county, one point. Most counties won in the state gets that states electoral votes.

Trump could make the following offer to Biden:

Either we take the Constitutional path with each state getting one electoral vote;

-or-

We redo the entire election, but this time with no mail-in ballots except legitimate absentees.

I prefer the second as I believe John James, Martha McSally, Sean Parnell were really winners defeated only by Dominion vote switching.

If Biden really got his 81 million votes, he should accept the second in a heartbeat.

That was our other thought. Whoever wins the most acreage wins the WH. Works for me. Of course that would mean a lot of the “betters” would have to sacrifice and move out into the yucky hinterlands. Yewwwwwwwww.

long ago, when I was real little, I heard the adults talking about the Electoral College

It was the JFK - Nixon election ; in my twisted 7 year old mind, I pictured it as a School in DC where electricians studied. Then the Senators went there to vote because it was nearby.

I’ll tell you later about Truck Farms ...

If the server found by Kracken contains ALL the incoming packet traffic from the US, it might be possible to reconstruct the vote counts at midnight, the closing time of “Election Day”. Then you have the cheating after midnight segregated from the main malware and human fraud that took place after midnight.
