Whats up with the electoral college system they have in USA?
What are some benefits using that?
Read a bit about it, and apparently you can be elected president with as little as 22% of the total vote.
Is USA even a democracy? With a outdated system that values votes differently depending on whos casting it it seems weird to call it one.
May be the first thing that i agree with Trump on.
Not sure why he thinks that tho, since the electoral college system is the only reason he got elected in the first place.

Didnt Clinton get more (real) votes than Trump last time?
But he won becouse he got more electors.
Atleast now he got kicked out.

The amount of voters in the Electoral College of a state is made up based on the state population but with a minimum of 3 Electoral Voters per state. So very small states like Wyoming have a disproportional amount of delegates. Every Wyoming EV is worth 4 times more than a Californian EV.
Think it's something like 7 out of last 8 times a Democrat won the popular vote, both Bush jr. and Trump lost.

Just seems like such a bad way to elect someone.
Can hardly call it a democracy when 22% of the total vote is all that is needed to win.

Most votes win seems like such a simple concept.
I get the whole "all states should have a say" but the electoral college system makes it so some votes are worth alot more than others, which makes no sense in a democracy.

The roots of the electoral college system are very much linked to slavery.

I have just swiftly pinged through the last few pages to see if there was anything relating to the legal arguments or the fact that Biden is not declared as the President elect.Only that 99% of the media are pushing him as being the President elect?

Biden won
There's pretty much 0 evidence of election fraud or tampering; zealots be zealots and will look for conspiracies under rocks and create ones where none exist

I think that America deserves a full look into what has happened in this election. Not only for this election but for the future.
Anyone that does not agree with that has to have bias issues.

Yeah, I've 0 issue the Trump side pursuing any and all legitimate concerns and legal avenues.
There's a system in place.
But to go twitter-mad, decry FOUL and FRAUD and profer nothing...nothing of substantive value? Is simply sour grapes

Heh, bias issues.
You think they are digging to find fraud in states where Trump won?
And for some reason no GOP are raising concerns about the house or senate votes, that were made using the same ballots. Guess they are happy with those results.
Funny how that works. =)
Pretty simple really.
The majority of Americans did not want him as President back in 2016, and they still dont.

I think we all know that this man is a sore loser - but now he really takes it to extremes. Mind you, even if he would miraculously win PA and Georgia after a recount, it's fruitless because Biden only needs his win in Nevada (with a margin exceeding 2%+ at 95% of the votes counted) to get 270 EV. It's over for Trump, but he cannot accept it and never will.

Should Trump somehow win..then he won; through legitimate voting and a fair democratic process
I dont think he will
But should he, then fair play

It real doesn’t. It only does if msm and the like are your source of ‘facts’shame, the world at large disagrees
but I guess we'll all know soon enough
That said I’m not bitter as stated on here loads, don’t think for a moment I’ve shared any feelings of sour grapes.
I can’t see the point in trying to contest this, just let it stand then next time round there cannot be any of the same nonsense, just my humble opinion however.

This was a generalisation it wasn’t directed at anyone in particular.yes, well, that's the thing
what facts, vs twitter vitriol?
The bias from the start has been the biggest witch hunt in history.
But the results are in and we have a new president so that’s that until the next one.

Not sure if this is 100% the truth but good luck to the R's finding all those cases to have enough to turn this vote around.
Remember Bush v. Gore was about 327 votes in total and 1 state, those 327 in favor of Bush I might add.. Now we're talking 3-4-5 states and a couple hundred thousand votes.
