The electoral college is a horrible carry over from colonial days when the founding fathers wanted "democracy", but still wanted to control the results.
The electoral college is a horrible carry over from colonial days when the founding fathers wanted "democracy", but still wanted to control the results.It also fuels those that feel like their vote won't matter, so they don't vote. If it was majority win with no EC, people would be more inclined to vote because their vote may actually matter. With the EC, in many states, your vote means nothing if you are not part of the majority of that state, even though you where part of the majority nation wide.
I think splitting the electoral votes among the legislative districts is a good option to explore. Although, I think it will find a lot of resistance.
And not disagreeing with you here per se, but it isn't Multnomah county that controls Oregon politics, it's Washington county. They have been the deciding county in every statewide election for at least the last 40 years.
The remaining votes left to count are mostly in Clark and Washoe counties.NV is insanely close. Will either count military later? I think Penn said they'll take military through 11/10.
Interesting. I hadnt heard that yet (Im in PHX). Most places have already called it for Biden.
The problem with that is that legislative districts can be gerrymandered.I think splitting the electoral votes among the legislative districts is a good option to explore. Although, I think it will find a lot of resistance.

So which is it?? Who's taking AZ?
This. You need to fix gerrymandering at the same time or as a precondition.The problem with that is that legislative districts can be gerrymandered.

This is certainly true.The problem with that is that legislative districts can be gerrymandered.
And put it in the trash.soooooooo..........they should rake more often?
It's frustrating that the Latino vote helped Trump to win Florida. I guess I have to accept there's a bigger diversity in Latino voters than I thought.
Plus NE-2, which makes 271.Biden needs NV, WI, MI, AZ to close the deal. That puts him at exactly 270.
Longitude not latitude?still don't get how Wisconsin is Midwest...
It's not a bifurcation, it's a zone.which is located east of the geographical middle of America...
To be clear here the error was not on the part of Arizona, but on the part of one of the two data aggregators that the news sites are using. One is Edison Research the other name I saw once but am not seeing now (Chicago was in the name IIRC). Source with more info:
Error in Arizona: 86 percent of vote in, not 98 percent
A data error about the percentage of the vote counted in Arizona made it appear a higher percentage of the vote had been counted for a time on Wednesday morning. Because of the error found in …thehill.com

A major amount of mail-in ballots were not delivered by the USPS in Miami-Dade county. This skewed those result and made the win look more lopsided.
