(shaking head) I thought you were trying to say something about the 'Electoral College'. My mistake.

Here's something about the electoral college you won't understand but here it is anyway, 2 states shouldn't be allowed to elect a president. Don't like it? Good

Bottom line, the larger your state, the less your vote counts. That's why Republicans love them some Electoral college. In some states, your vote counts almost three times more than a vote cast in another state.

The 'Swing States' decide the Election.

Yes, but its a matter of representation in the Electoral College. If you live in Montana, you get one elector for every 193,000 residents. If you live in California, one elector represents about 727,000 residents. That means that your votes counts 3.5 times more in Montana than in California.

Are you trying to convince me that is the Smart way to go?
What happened to 'One Man, One Vote' ?

No, just the opposite. I think it's ludicrous that we elect a President that way. It's an archaic remnant of a time when only white landowners could vote. It's stupid. One person in Montana should not have the same impact on the election as 3.5 people in California.

If you are a Republican in California ... does your vote count?

Sure, you are just on the losing side.

If your Republican U. S. Representative (or governor or Senator) gets 51% of the votes and his Democratic opponent gets 49% the Republicans win 100% of the representation in that district and the Democrats get 0% although they had almost half the votes.
