Don't want to get Political just explain how our voting works...
This is the best explanation of the electoral college voting and why we do it that I've seen!!!!!!!
The liberal Dems want the popular vote to elect.
A 39 second Must Read you will want to pass on.
In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the
Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why
should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the
nation?
The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the
Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the
Electoral College makes sense.
Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.
There are 3,141 counties in the United States.
Trump won 3,084 of them.
Clinton won 57.
There are 62 counties in New York State.
Trump won 46 of them.
Clinton won 16
Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan,
Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes
than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton
winning the popular vote of the entire country.
These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
