Uh looks like 49.1 to her 47.8 even if it is by 1 vote (over 100,000 it seems) he got the majority for your state of those that voted.
I'm comparing the 2000 election there and trying to figure out how we can say that it wouldn't be fair to let California decide the election because their vote alone would make the difference, yet it's suddenly fair for Florida to decide the election on a smaller margin when disregarding their vote in the same way would flip electoral votes in the same way California would have flipped popular votes in 2016.
Oh sorry as I said this isnt my best subject. If all the states added up to that then so be it imo, but I admit Florida was sketchy that year with those ballot scandals if I am remembering correctly. Also there is a difference when 30 of 50 states pick one person but somehow 20 out of 50 is the winner because of 1 out of the 20 had a large number of people.
Damn auto correct why would I mean dancing?!
Another issue being that the vast majority of Americans are ignorant to the topic of politics. The PV would be fine and dandy if people would educate themselves on the subject but as it stands, the pv is a terrible system for America. It would allow indoctrination to command elections which is obviously bad. The electoral college isn't perfect but it's the best system for a country like America. I can't think of a single instance when it has failed us.
Please dont take me as an example of the average American as I have memory problems brought on by trauma to the head from my youth that has made learning new things much harder, and remembering things I know more and more difficult.
I am not saying you are I just want to point out that my lack of political knowledge is not normal to average people.
You keep saying stuff like this in this topic and it just makes me want to snuggle you
But seriously though , I didnt have trauma to my head (that I know of), and I cant follow/understand/recall most third political to save my life either. I do enjoy reading through these topics though, especially when people are being civil ---
