Yes - I am mixing apples (checks) and oranges (balances). If it's any consolation i fully support equal rights and policies to reduce greenhouse emissions. I voted for Hillary Clinton. I'm likely on your side on all issues except maybe gun control which
I oppose even as a non-gun owner. V2020 doesn't handle discourse very well which is pretty much why there is rarely a healthy debate in this forum if any debate whatsoever. I find it quite disingenuous after the fact for some on the left to be complaining
about an EC system that both parties understand extremely well. Then again, Trump bellowing non-stop that the system is rigged seemed to strike a chord with his voters, so I'm all in favor of the Dems adopting that similar strategy as well if they feel that
will help them win elections.<br>

not occupying the White House. Each party gets 8 years controlling the White House and a staggered 8 years controlling Congress. I had fully expected that Democrats to *easily* retain the White House this year and was shocked that they had failed their normally
solid base of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania none of which, I believe, had wound up in the Republican's win column in decades. What went wrong with Hillary's messaging and right with Trumps messaging to turn all three of these states from blue to red?</div>

This is exactly why the brilliant framers came up with the Electoral College as a check / balance of not allowing Congress to select a president (except in an Electoral College tie) and not allowing a president to be elected solely by popular vote which can
be heavily skewed by the more populous states. Hillary and company were well aware of how the system elects a president and yet they still shockingly blew Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania to a hack like Trump who didn't even have the support of his own
party.<br clear="none">

on a popular vote, one vote one person, regardless of whether they are from a heavily populated county, like Ada, or a much smaller populated county like Latah.

far more weight than in other states, unless not fully supporting democratic one person one vote principles.<br clear="none">

<div><font size="4"><strong>3) A Person Can Become President By Winning Only 21.8% of the Popular Vote</strong><br clear="none">
</font><font size="4"><br clear="none">
As previously stated, the Electoral College is a winner take all system. If a candidate wins the popular vote of a state by a just a single vote, he generally receives all the electoral votes of that state (excluding Maine and Nebraska). Combine this with the
fact that smaller states receive more electoral votes per person than larger states, and it becomes possible to win the presidency by winning just 21.8% of the American public’s vote.

<div><font size="4">According to a <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="https://www.squarefree.com/2004/11/01/winning-an-election-with-22-of-the-popular-vote/">
study</a> done by Jesse Ruderman, “A presidential candidate could be elected with as a little as 21.8% of the popular vote by getting just over 50% of the votes in DC and each of 39 small states. This is true even when everyone votes and there are only two
candidates. In other words, a candidate could lose with 78.2% of the popular vote by getting just under 50% in small states and 100% in large states.”</font></div>

<div><font size="4">Each person's vote should be weighted the same, unless you object somehow to fair representative democracy. The electoral college sometimes dilutes the votes of US citizens when we get an outcome like Bush v. Gore 2000, or Trump v. Hillary
2016, as this excerpt from the article further explains: <span class="yiv9649198659m_8927888028656117584gmail-author-card__details-container">

<div><font size="4">As <a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" target="_blank" href="http://fairvote.org/">
fairvote.org</a> explains, “For instance, each individual vote in Wyoming counts nearly four times as much in the Electoral College as each individual vote in Texas. This is because Wyoming has three (3) electoral votes for a population of 532,668 citizens
(as of 2008 Census Bureau estimates) and Texas has thirty-two (32) electoral votes for a population of almost 25 million. By dividing the population by electoral votes, we can see that Wyoming has one “elector” for every 177,556 people and Texas has one “elector”
for about every 715,499.”</font></div>

<div><font size="4">By giving smaller states more electoral votes per person than larger states, disparity was created across the nation in regards to the significance of each citizens’ vote. With the Electoral College, the value of a vote depends on what state
a person lives in.</font></div>
