Why only 30%, John?

It can go higher.

I just meant those 4 states would be a lock on 30% of the population

You're right, it would be higher but 30% is good head start?

well, maybe they can start on something else first.. for practice

How does the "8 commandments" sound?? Mmmm

that is the misconception of this country it is not a democracy it is a republic the majority dous not rule ---- this is the united states not the biggest states

each state gets electors passed on the poulation of that state larger states have more electors but larger state do not get to elect the leader of the united states ALL states elect the leader of the united states

i think it was Jefferson [but not positive] that said a democracy isbthe wants of the majority trambling the rights of the minorty

that is why this REPUBLIC HAS THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE ooppp hit cap key lol

and a congress

it is not more united to give control to the few states united is all states having control

I understand what you mean...could be, eh...All I know so far, is that the people in general and future generations will suffer in the end taking in consideration the situation. The way it is right now. But there's always hope. Hope for the better. I hope so.

what is is not what always has to be

thats why we have something called 'history'

i doubt enough states will sign up for dumping electoral college

but ? do i no

its a start to considering it,,,,,,after Trump,, who knows what may be changed

After Tuesday's election, popular vote tallies show Clinton got 59.8 million votes while Donald Trump got 59.6 million votes, with some ballots still left to be counted. If that lead holds up, Clinton will become the fifth person to lose strictly as a result of the Electoral College.

Listed below are the four previous times such an occurrence has happened.


In 1824, Andrew Jackson lost the election to John Quincy Adams despite beating Adams by 38,221 votes nationwide.
In 1876, Samuel Tilden lost to Rutherford Hayes despite beating Hayes by 252,666 votes nationwide.
In 1888, Grover Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison despite beating Harrison by 94,530 votes nationwide.
In 2000, Al Gore lost to George W. Bush despite beating Bush by 543,816 votes nationwide.
