"I think all of us know, the Electoral College needs to go. We need a national popular vote," Walz said to applause from donors. "But that's not the world we live in.

...

Getting rid of the Electoral College is not an official position of the Harris campaign, a campaign official told USA TODAY.

The harris camp wants to get rid of the EC. They didn't deny that position. What they said was, they wouldn't say that publicly.

Great. Just one more way that Walz is better aligned with and better representative of the American people, 63% of whom want the same thing.

One person, one vote. A rancher in Wyoming should have the same voice as a dev in San Francisco. 

 

Lol...so the people in large cities can dictate the nation's leadership?

On a cold day in Hell.

No, let's let the people of the nation elect the president. One person, one vote.

No, they really don't. And to pretend otherwise is disingenuous. Because of the EC, the votes in less populous states are weighted to be worth more--more decisive--in picking the POTUS.
 

That rancher in WY has about 3.6x as much influence on the presidential election as the developer in CA. There's no justice in that. And at this point it means that we're regularly electing a POTUS that the majority of Americans don't want.

No. Each citizen gets one vote for their state's EC. The EC then casts their votes. The EC is weighted so that smaller states get less votes and larger states get more votes. There is no disparity. In the vast majority of POTUS elections, the popular vote and the EC are aligned.

You have that backward. The smaller states get proportionally larger votes, because the senate delegation is not based on population. There absolutely is a disparity. And you know it. 

There's just one president for the country. That person should at lest start their term with the support of a majority of Americans.

What is the Electoral College?

The Electoral College is a system that prescribes the creation of a temporary group of electors to officially elect the U.S. President every four years during the General Election. The number of electors equals the total number of representatives in Congress, namely 538. Each state appoints its electors, and the number of electors each state gets is based on its population. The number of electors changes over time because of population fluctuations. If you wonder how many electors your state has, you can consult the National Archives.

Dont feel bad. Most liberals don't know how the EC works.

What an embarrassing post for you.

The Senate has nothing to do with the voting of the EC. All they do is certify that the votes EC votes are accurate and valid.

As for the EC, and confirmed by my link above, the EC is based on the number of reps in the state. The number of reps in the state is based on the population of the state. More populous states have more EC votes than less populous states.

I don't understand why you lie so much. Do you just not know any better or are you so dedicated to the liberal ideology that you'll do and say anything?

The Electoral College grew out of the 3/5's compromise in which 3/5's of the enslaved black population would be counted toward allocating representatives, electors and calculating federal taxes. The compromise ensured southern states would ratify the constitution and gave Virginia, home of 200,000 slaves a quarter of the total electoral votes required to elect a president at that time.

Sounds like a system a modern democratic country that brags about freedom would want to keep. 😆

And most of that 63% don't know what in the hell that would actually mean. 

Nobody wants two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner, and that is exactly how a democracy run by democrats would look. 

No, it's better to keep the EC - it's what we need in our Constitutional Republic.

When you look at electoral votes per population It takes 2.6 voters in populous states like NY, California, Texas and Florida to have the same college representation as a single voter in a state like Montana.

Bullshit. Every EC vote represents 747,000 voters. So my 1 vote in Texas is 1/747,000 and a one voter in Montana is 1/747,000 of an EC vote.

Bullshit yourself. Montana has 4 votes and a population of 1,122,867 and 4 votes. That's 280,000 per vote. Texas has a population of 29,145,595 and 40 votes. That's 728,637.625 per vote. 728 divided by 280 equals 2.6 more Texans per college vote.

Which makes the Montana resident a minority and leftoids hate injustices toward minorities, so why are you crying?

No, so that the majority of voters can have a say.
