    A vote for each Senator and one for each House district. Winner take all screws Illinois and the like. Splitting the state's votes would be better than this popular vote stuff that is going around.

    I'd be interested to see video or pics of students rubbing other students faces in the election of Obama, on a scale comparable to what we've seen the past THREE days.

    I'd be interested to see if there is any statistical significance to the change in rate of such incidents as are being breathlessly reported from the past three days, compared to the rate of those same incidents prior to the election. (Of course, one must first ferret out the actual incidents from the obvious hoaxes.)

    Something being reported at a higher rate does not mean that it is actually happening at a higher rate. See also: police-involved shootings.

    Democrats have lost two elections where they won the popular vote, but lost in the electoral college. Them's the rules now, but there's merit to the argument.

    Only for people who can't read the constitution, who failed history and civics, and who fail to understand that we are a republic of sovereign states and not a democracy.

    People need to stop saying Hillary won the popular vote. Hillary didn't win ****. Popular vote means nothing when candidates are campaigning to win an electoral college. When's the last time a Republican POTUS candidate has spent any effort trying to woo the 15 million Republicans in California? If this election were based on popular vote from the start we don't know who would have won.

    There are two other points about the "popular vote", as well:

    1. The criticism about Democrat vs Republican GOTV efforts is legitimate. The Democrats have a well-oiled system to squeeze every vote out of their districts. The Republican ground game, by comparison, might as well not even exist.

    2. Voter fraud. There was easily enough voter fraud, both the traditional ballot-stuffing in the Broward/Cook Counties and Philadelphias of the country, and in illegals voting in sanctuary cities, to change the "popular vote" winner.

    But in the end, the "popular vote" is utterly irrelevant. All it demonstrates is the wisdom of the Electoral College system set up by our founders, since it shows that, without the EC, a half-dozen super-metro centers in the country would determine the outcome of the election.

    If they paid more attention to where their local voting booth is located, they wouldn't have to worry about the Electoral College so much.


    This^^^^ An estimated 90million eligible voters did not vote. Half again as much as either major party candidate garnered. Not that much of a mandate for either one
