    Yes, I see too where Humberto is twisting things around and trying to place words in the mouths of others. Of course it's not a matter of rural vs urban....that's absurdly over-simplistic.

    It is however about ensuring, in as much as possible, the representation of all states and regions instead of allowing a handful of large states to dominate the whole country......this should not be that hard even for a fuking libtard....jeezus....

    A bit odd that it seems to happen in mainly southern Republican states. It may not have got Trump into the Whitehouse but it has a massive impact down ballot. A big reason that the house is currently under Republican control.

    Im not following this. In what way did this happen? When, or how, did district boundaries change?

    Are you saying that Gerrymandering is the reason trump won in the 3 narrowest states, therefore taking the Electoral Vote win?
    Did I say district boundaries changed?
    Those three states you're talking about shouldn't amount to three states.
    Lets say there were only 4 states in a country.
    State One has a population of 1000 liberal faggots, state Two a population of 100 cnservative rednecks, state 3 a population of 100 conservative rednecks and state Four a population of 10 conservative rednecks.
    Under the current system if politician Bob won state One and politician Trevor won states Two, Three and Four politician Trevor would win even though he only had 210 votes of a population of 1210.
    To be fair the boundaries need to be changed.

    Last time I checked, every, single, link I provided was unbiased and factual in its intent.

    Cant say the same about yourself can you?

    Nothing to swindle here. I pity those who are stupid enough to use the term libtard. Just validates the lack of brain cells on the right. A big reason they are gullible enough to fall for fake news over and over because it tells them what they want to hear. Brainwashed lemmings.

    Everytime you people post up the libtard this and libtard that I just sit back with a shrewd smile as I realize that the Republican party is rapidly dying off. In my eyes this election was the last gasp of a dying demographic.

    No, you clearly said that THE REASON for EC is BECAUSE OF slavery #1. You said it. Clear as day. Even your biased links clearly state otherwise.

    Its not. Not at all. But you sell it like it is and that makes you the very definition of a shill and a swindler.

    I know what you are saying. EC isn't perfect for sure, but its absolutely better than a straight popular vote. There is no way to make any legislation satisfy 100% of the people, even with the absolute best intentions.

    It was. Did you even read the articles? It was directly on the founders minds when they created the EC. If you do not like the sources I posted google it. There are tons of articles about the topic.

    Dude, please. Stop trying to sell it like that.

    Was it 'on their mind'? Well yeah.

    You want to know what else was on their mind at the time, and has a hell of a lot more to do with what the USA is today?

    Great Britain and the American Revolution spawned the constitution, democratic republic, and electoral college you stupid slack jawed mouth breather.

    Just a bit over simplified there Mr Cujo. If you look at how the EC votes are allocated you will see that it's far more complex that your simple analogy would suggest. What "boundaries" would you change ?..... I think the individual states in the US are quite protective about their boundaries and their representation in the Electoral College...

    The EC voting is perfectly fair and has stood the test of time. FFS it's been around for over 200 years and I think it's only been about four or five times when the EC vote did not reflect the popular vote....which seems to be the rallying call for all libtards at the present time.

    It's pretty certain that if HRC had won the election this EC thing would not even be getting a mention..... it's all just frantic libtards clutching at the thinnest of straws......foking losers.....

    Fascinating observation considering we got the the president, senate, house, and supreme court are republican stacked.

    Seems like, maybe, you might be wrong?

    Shill, you are saying that EC was BECAUSE of slavery when in fact its BECAUSE of Great Britain and their tyrannical rule and the American Revolution. THATS why we have what we have today. THATS what spawned EC and our Democratic Republic.

    Stop being a fucking swindler and selling it like its BECAUSE of slavery when its not. Goddam what the fuck is wrong with you?

    And a tremendous amount of sour grapes from the liberals.

    That is a well founded historical fact, and the founding fathers being fairly new at the making of constitutions, equitable electoral systems, and other state building enterprise, took note of the Parliamentary democracy that existed in the country of their former occupiers...the British. That's where the idea of the EC really came from and it was really just the new American way of balancing out state powers between larger states with big populations and the rest of a growing federation.

    Some of those who drafted the constitution and established the EC where themselves slave owners and came from slave states. That in the minds of some history revisionists on the libtard front would naturally lead to slavery being the driving force.... it's a libtard thing to try and attribute everything to slavery or racism....when they have no other position to offer.

    Heads up libtards, your whole constitution was drafted at a time when slavery was still very much a reality and quite normal in some places. It was not until the late 19th century before it was finally abolished in the US. So, based on this distressing news, do you want to throw out the entire constitution as well as the EC?
