Shaken, not stirred!
Here's a little dose of reality for all of you (regardless of political affiliation) hyperventilating about the up-coming elections this November.
THE ONLY VOTES FOR PRESIDENT THAT COUNT ARE THE ELECTORAL. THE POPULAR VOTE IS A WASTE OF TIME.
Think: the electoral vote is suppose to represent the consensus of the popular vote for all individual states. Now, if you have a president who wins the electoral vote but loses the popular vote, that means that there are some states that DO NOT ADHERE TO THE RULES.
In other words, in some states the "electors" can just vote as they please without any legal repercussions.
So stop hand wringing about the presidential election. Focus more on your congressional elections (local and federal) that DO NOT depend on electoral votes.
Just saying.
