        I’m thinking you shouldn’t talk about the electoral college until you understand what it does because you’re dead wrong

        Power IS held by a few states…the swing states…that are made important because the electoral college gives them disproportionate votes. States aren’t people and where you live shouldn’t matter for the presidential election.

        [https://fairvote.org/archives/the_electoral_college-population_vs_electoral_votes/](A vote in Wyoming has the same “power” as 2 1/2 votes from Oregon). What about that sounds right to you?

                Typical conservative dancing around the point but not addressing it. Sad!

                    You can’t read. I’m saying the popular vote is how the president SHOULD be decided and I’m asking in what way the electoral college is better. Your only suggestion so far holds about as much weight as an anti-tiger rock (“we’re still a union so it’s a good thing”)
