It effectively ignores about 80% of the country and put the entire electoral onus on about ten swing states. Furthermore, there are more Republican voters in California than there are in Texas, yet their votes are completely meaningless. Same with Democratic voters in Texas compared to New York. It's working as intended in that it's a system that was always intended to give more power to fewer people. And that's a problem that needs to be corrected. Yes it does. 50 states come together to form this union. We give people votes and we give power to states to determine a president together. This election was 25-25 in states. The general went to the winner. It worked relatively as intended. Last election Trump won like 30 states to 20 or something. And slightly lost the popular vote. The system is set up to give power to both. I mean, the only knock against the system that could ever exist would be if someone lost both the majority of states and popular vote and still won. Which to my knowledge could but hasn't happened. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik Currently playing: Spider-Man (PS4), Quantum Break (X1) <cite>Corrik7 posted [p:948444174] in Politics C...
