Trump's Post Election Fallout: Legal & Obstruction actions

It's objective fact based off math.  Your opinion is that you don't want to lose the disproportional power the EC gives rural voters. Math says 1 person = 1 vote.

You can say it over and over and over, that doesn't make it right.

1 person DOES equal 1 vote currently.  And once those 1 votes are tallied, they decide each state.  It is basic math!

If one person equaled one vote today's procedure wouldn't be happening. 

This is all a ploy by republicans and rural folks to disproportionally hold power over the majority of Americans. It is anti-democratic.

No it's not, and that reasoning is a ploy to manipulate people into thinking all votes are the same.  They are not.  State lines exist and we shouldn't pretend that they don't.

Who cares if "state lines exist?" States are arbitrary lumps of land. States don't vote.

People vote. 

 
If we use basic math and ignore Nebraska and Maine's individual districts (which would actually be better for every state to adopt) the math checks out like this:

California had 17.8 million people vote, 70.8% of registered 

Nebraska had 950k people vote, 74% of registered 

Therefore each Nebraska's whopping 5 votes equals out to 1 EC vote per 190,000 votes.  California on the other hand has 55 votes meaning 323,636 votes per 1 EC vote.

So in that regard yes, Nebraska does in fact have more weight in terms of how many votes are behind each EC vote.  THAT should be adjusted.  Again, district voting makes more sense to me.

I posted something similar in The Angry Violent Right. Thank God for the quick thinking of Officer Eugene Goodman. Had the mob been able to reach the Senate chamber while it was still occupied... I don't even want to think about it.

See previous response, because it's the President of the United States.  States govern individually.  Those "imaginary" lines exist to protect individual state laws etc.  Why ignore that there are 50 individual states when it comes to electing who presides over them all?  They are all different, why pretend that's not true?  I would like a candidate earn my states vote instead of only focusing on like 3 or 4 cities total.

This is totally illogical and ignorant of basic civics. The president is not the leader of 50 individual states. That's what governors are for. The president is the head of the executive branch of the federal government, which is distinctly different (and supercedes) the individual state governments.

I typed up nearly this exact response before deleting it because I realized I was talking to a guy who created a sock account to troll P&R.
