I really hope ... By: RaiuTree. on 22 May 12, 19:10:43 I really hope you're joking. America is "defined" to be a democratic republic. My comment, which everyone seems to mis-read, merely demonstrates a way in which we can see that this definition is applicable.? Also "republic," in this context, more accurately defined as "A state in which the governmental power is exercised by representatives chosen (directly or indirectly) by the body," than your definition, whichh is the one used when a nation is called "The Republic of [Whatever]" By that logic, ... By: redhaven901. on 21 May 12, 07:34:48 By that logic, European countries are republics too? Fuck no. Some of them are monarchs but they are democratic.

At first that Contradicts what I states earlier when I think States are equal. However, since CA, TX, and NY have large populations (70 million Combines, almost 1/3 of population) candidates? would invest heavily there. More people have a larger say in Congress and Laws passed, but does that mean the country only focuses on CA's 55 seats as opposed to 435 representational seats? No! So why don't we ...

By: ComedyStanCam. on 16 May 12, 22:51:09 I think that everyone votes, and when 1 candidate gets the majority? of votes in 1 state, that state goes to that candidate, and that state counts as a "vote". I know it's similar to the electoral college, but the thing is, is that electors can't vote for somebody else. The fact that they can do that means the President is elected by bureaucrats. The votes states have will not be by a human but by a majority. And each state will have one say. And in a 25/25 situation, Territories can vote. THIS IS GREAT FOR ...

By: macarion. on 07 May 12, 05:11:26 With a popular vote? system, every state would have the proper amount of representation. No, it's not true that candidates would only focus on big cities. If that were true, why don't they already do that? Why don't they already focus on the biggest cities in swing states (Miami, Philadelphia, Cleveland), and ignore everyone else? Also, the physical presence of a candidate in a city is basically irrelevant. It's the 21st century. We have TV and the internet now. The electoral ... By: MrRobertHastings. on 06 May 12, 21:18:44 The electoral college was designed so that each state would have some representation, no matter how small. To do away with it and have a mass popular vote would be a catastrophe; what remains of state's rights would vanish overnight as they would no longer control who governs them, and Presidential Candidates would only campaign in large urban concentrations, you know, Chicago, New York, LA, etc. I urge you? all to make an informed decision about the electoral college... once you know the facts.

A popular vote would be the epitome of unfairness. The EC was designed to be more fair. Without it, little states would be outvoted 5 to 1 every single time.

By: asef32g. on 25 May 12, 16:38:36 Exactly. Even under the electoral college, elections are still giant popularity contests. Who cares if the EC is slightly unfair. Its still okay. It is practically impossible to abolish it through amendment (It has been tried, never even passed congress). The most thats ever going to happen is the electoral votes? are going to be adjusted slightly. Thats it. Why does anybody care about this anyway.

By: steve95054. on 24 May 12, 19:11:32 2) The States as separate entities also need equal representation. The Electoral College is, in theory, composed the same way the Congress was (until the 17th Amendment): in two parts, with one representing the interests of the States as governments, and one representing the people as individuals. Unfortunately, this was broken in Congress with the passage of the 17th Amendment, and it's broken in the EC with the "winner-take-all" laws enacted by the States.? You seem to be ... By: steve95054. on 24 May 12, 19:08:44 You seem to be stuck on the idea of "democracy". I will not say that an unfair democracy is preferable to a fair one. I will simply point out that we do not live in a democracy at all, and that this is intentional. The electoral college is composed as it is for two primary reasons: 1) The people can be easily swayed, and often choose based on stupid things like "he speaks well",? in addition to having their votes bought and paid for (in effect) by large groups such as the NRA or the Unions. Ok, so the name- ... By: steve95054. on 24 May 12, 19:06:20 Ok, so the name-calling was out of line. I just get pissed off at people that don't get it.

By: tjtomkins. on 11 Feb 12, 16:42:16 It was designed that way? because originally, each "state" was like a country in itself so it was sort of European Union type of arrangement & this system allowed each "state" (country) to represent itself better than bigger states simply crushing the voice of smaller ones thru higher population-counts. This is why it's "UNITED" States of America because each state was considered to be a country on it own.Of course, Emperor Lincoln turned it into an Empire of sorts but that's another topic....

So two thirds of the states don't get a lot of? campaign coverage, but the act of spectating ends in the polling booth, which is a personal decision.

By: oldgulph707. on 04 Nov 11, 01:13:39 The candidates, after the primaries, do not reach out to over 2/3rds of the states and their voters. They have no reason to poll, visit, advertise, organize, campaign, or care about the voter concerns in the dozens of? states where they are safely ahead or hopelessly behind. Some examples, from 2008, only $2,235 was spent on advertising in NY, less than $29,000 was in CA, $4,641 in TX. $20 in MA. $5,062 in WA. Nothing in DC, MD, NJ, CT, HI, VT, RI, DE, or WY.

By: oldgulph707. on 04 Nov 11, 01:10:05 Not only don't presidential candidate visit, they don't advertise or pay attention to the issues of concern to voters in non-battleground states.

By: TruthatCearcie. on 04 Nov 11, 00:05:36 We do know better than they, at least partly because they are dead and I don't think dead people should be making my decisions.

The Republic is not in any danger from National Popular Vote. It has nothing to do with direct democracy.

By: oldgulph707. on 04 Nov 11, 00:03:00 - Presidential candidates concentrate their attention on only the current handful of "battleground" states. There is no incentive for them to care about the majority of states where they are hopelessly behind or safely ahead. In 2012, at most, only 14 states and their voters will matter. ? Almost 75% of the country will be ignored --including 19 of the 22 lowest population and medium-small states, and 17 medium and big states like CA, GA, NY, and TX. The National ... By: oldgulph707. on 03 Nov 11, 23:59:14 The National Popular Vote bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers, in 21 small, medium-small, medium, and large states, including one house in AR, CT, DE, DC, ME, MI, NV, NM, NY, NC, and OR, and both houses in CA, CO, HI, IL, NJ, MD, MA, RI, VT, and WA.

However, as a result of changes in state laws, the winner-take-all rule is now currently used by 48 of the 50 states. The fact that Maine and Nebraska do not use the winner-take-all rule is a reminder that the Constitution left the matter of awarding electoral votes to the states.

I don't often use this word, but it's the only one that really applies to people who are swayed by this video: sheeple. Maine and Nebraska are the only two states where they have said 'no' to the bad democracy of first past the post.

The votes are distributed unfairly and do not accurately represent the opinions of the individual states' citizens.

By: mooninquirer. on 08 Oct 11, 03:07:48 It is NOT a setback for the people of Pennsylvania, because the GOP has no chance of winning it in a presidential election, unless they pull off a near 50 state sweep and landslide.

By: Foreshadow44. on 26 Sep 11, 23:27:50 If you do that you'll see more third party and lesser party candidates do much better and be more important. Since if the libertarians or green party want in on it that few electoral votes they get can matter.

By: Foreshadow44. on 26 Sep 11, 23:25:54 They should have proportional vote in each state to determine electoral college. Say you have 10 votes, have it not be 'winner takes all'. Instead if 60 percent of the vote in a state goes to one candidate gets 6 of those votes. Then if another candidate gets 30 percent he or she gets? 3 of those votes and best of all if one candidate gets 10 percent he or she gets 1 of those votes.

By: 1timby. on 25 May 12, 19:52:26 Well all the president has to do to win is to win in all the big populous states. Why not afford every state the same electoral votes(EV's) for each state.

Now CA, TX, etc carry more weight than RI, OK, etc. Someone explain where I'm wrong. Well, then another ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 24 May 12, 17:18:32 Well, then another way could be the Parliamentary system, like in Europe and other countries where the majority in congress is the one that has the new leader. As it is, I see politicians ignoring some states anyway. My state (Oregon) is a big sleeper this year. I don't think anyone campaigned here so far.?

By: cloudshe. on 24 May 12, 17:04:35 i think just the personal interest in who your state votes for would be lost under a pure majority vote system. it seems to be a decent system, one that recognizes the existence of all our states, and places responsibility for an honest vote on each state's bureaucracy. the argument that somehow voters are disappointed when something like bush/gore happens, well, most of that seems to occur because 1)? the loser whines about it and 2) so many voters are dumbasses when it comes to our government that's okay, i ...

By: kevinwaynesongs. on 24 May 12, 12:57:19 OK and I'm saying that Whittle is wrong for the following reasons: 1) His notion of a direct popular vote causing candidates to ignore less populated areas is pure speculation. 2) They tend to ignore them anyway. 3) The Benjamin Harrison example - the "front porch" campaign. 4) The Constitution was written when the country was much smaller, and it's hard to say they cared about less populated states? that didn't exist yet. 5) There are other alternatives: Run off system, parliamentary, etc. well, we might as ... By: cloudshe. on 24 May 12, 12:34:45 well, we might as well argue about whether a field goal should be worth 3 pts. sure the folks who liked gore got their panties in? a bunch over Nothing, i'm just saying that bush would have won under either situation, he would have just campaigned more heavily in the blue states. he won according to the rules, and whittle is only trying to make sense of our constitution under the thinking of its writers Hello??? The ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 24 May 12, 09:14:44 Hello??? The conversation is about whether or not the EC is a good thing. I'm merely pointing? out that all other things being equal, Candidate A getting more votes than Candidate B and being declared the winner is more in line with fairness. "Sticking to the rules" is non sequitur because I never said change the rules after the fact, no matter how many times you try and put those words in my mouth. Of course, Gore winning TN would have been better. Also, non sequitur to the discussion. "fairness" means ... By: cloudshe. on 24 May 12, 07:47:01 "fairness" means sticking to the rules, verdad? you CANNOT say that bush would not have gotten more votes if that's what was more important to the campaign. AND, wonder why gore didn't bring up the? est 180,000 votes by illegal immigrants in FL? or his "counting every vote" baloney when he tried so hard to get absentee ballots discounted, which made for some bad press. no i don't feel for gore at all, and he lost by the rules. if he had carried his home state of TN he would have won. ironic I didn't vote for ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 24 May 12, 06:48:11 I didn't vote for Gore, but I tend to think he got screwed. There were a lot of votes that Pat Buchanan got that it was believed should have gone to Gore due to the ballot mess-up. He? should have challenged those, but failed to do so. There were a lot of little crazy anomalies like that. You said something about "changing the rules after the fact" - Idk where you got that? All I said was, it would be more fair in Gore's case if he had won, because he had the greater popular vote Well you could ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 24 May 12, 06:43:03 Well you could speculate that all day long. IMHO, the Founding Fathers wrote for a time when there was only 13 colonies to deal with. I could be wrong, but it seems like a lot of stuff was put in place that wasn't with the idea that we would be dealing with such a large population spread out over a vast geographic region. Now a Parliamentary? system might do all the things that an EC supposedly does, and go beyond that: If a Political Party gets 5% of the vote, it has 5% representation. so then how is it " ... By: cloudshe. on 24 May 12, 06:36:17 so then how is it "fair"? you say you didn't stipulate a rule change, then you state an outcome that would only happen if you Did change the rules. near as i can tell Bush won squarely, whiner gore & friends just wanted? to be feces in the punchbowl imho sure, but you make ... By: cloudshe. on 24 May 12, 06:29:27 sure, but you make no claim that a simple majority vote? would make anything better, and you provide no evidence of that. one thing i think is true, if we had gotten Gore instead of Bush, we probably wouldn't be stuck with Obama the Incompetent now I know!

It may not have changed the? outcome, but it likely may have meant Carter got more votes in the end. At least, more people would have voted. Well then, you just ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 23 May 12, 17:26:15 Well then, you just proved Whittle wrong. The power mongers snubbed Small Town America with an Electoral College in place! Just like they do today. The GOP only sings the praises of the EC because they benefited from it in 2 instances: Once? with Bush and once with Benjamin Harrison in 1888. Fyi, Harrison ran a "front porch campaign," meaning he only stayed in his home town! Another solid rebuttal to Whittle, from our own history. Maybe he should have stayed in the UK. The? argument was ... By: kevinwaynesongs. on 23 May 12, 17:14:49 The? argument was about "fairness." Gore would have at least been a minority President that won the popular vote, which is fair.

By: cloudshe. on 23 May 12, 16:57:49 no examples in history? try the events leading up to the civil war, when less populated areas were given the razz by the power-mongers. you don't think people want? their state and their concerns recognized and publicized in a Presidential election? maybe Whittle would find that "hilarious" of you The GOP Pennsylvania Electoral College Theft Plot Posted by: SamSeder Video duration: 370 seconds Global video hits: 1166 From the Majority Report, live MF 11:30am EST and via daily podcast at Majority.FM The GOP is currently putting together a plan to split up Pennsylvania's electoral votes, which would greatly impact Barack Obama's presidential reelection chances.

Within each room there are 51 students that can vote. So no tie will happpen. With the current system only rooms are counted and not people. The thing is that if only one person within that room votes for candidate? A while the others don't vote then they count for the whole 51.

However, as a result of changes in state laws, the winner-take-all rule is now currently used by 48 of the 50 states.

The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the? candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.

If Florida did this in 2000 then any recount would have had only 3 electors at stake.? Bush would have received only 14 electors when he needed 24 to win.

By: WhiteCamry. on 28 Oct 08, 18:57:56 What's really wrong with the Electoral College is the winner-take-all racket by which the Big Two Parties hijacked it. In 48 states (and DC) they bet to win all a state's electors by winning the minimal statewide majority. This was the real cause of the 2000 Fiasco? and is why the Democrats never called for reform after that election. Recounts, yes, but never reform. Electorial voting ... By: koppakraft. on 14 Sep 08, 04:33:42 Electorial voting needs to be banned by the United States Congress. During the election process of Bush and Gore, Bush won by the electoral votes, although Gore had more of the peoples vote than Bush. That clearly says that the peoples vote does not count and that it is? the electorial votes that gets a president elected. It's completely unfair that the electorial votes over ride the peoples vote. The electoral college Posted by: EconomistMagazine Video duration: 226 seconds Global video hits: 894 The electoral college is a relic of the 18th century that gives disproportionate weight to voters in smaller states and focuses attention on a dozen "swing" ones.

By: oldgulph707. on 10 May 12, 22:33:54 Historically, virtually all of the major changes in the method of electing the President, including ending the requirement that only men who owned substantial property could vote and 48 current state-by-state winner-take-all laws, have been by state legislative action. The NPV bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers in 21 states, and been enacted by 9 jurisdictions with 132 electoral votes - 49% of? the 270 needed.

By: oldgulph707. on 10 May 12, 22:30:30 The current state winner-take-all method of awarding electoral votes (not mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, but since enacted by 48 states), ensures that the? candidates, after the primaries, will not reach out to about 76% of the states and their voters. Candidates have no reason to poll, visit, advertise, organize, campaign, or care about the voter concerns in the dozens of states where they are safely ahead or hopelessly behind. The number and population of battleground states is shrinking With National ... By: oldgulph707. on 10 May 12, 22:28:56 With National Popular Vote, big cities would not get all of candidates' attention, much less control the outcome. The population of the top 5 cities (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia) is only 6% of the population and the top 50? cities (going as far down as Arlington, TX) is only 19%. Suburbs and exurbs often vote Republican. If big cities controlled even state elections, governors and Senators would be Democratic in virtually every state with a significant city. The National ... By: oldgulph707. on 10 May 12, 22:25:34 The National Popular Vote bill preserves the Electoral College and state? control of elections. It changes the way electoral votes are awarded in the Electoral College. Under National Popular Vote, every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in every presidential election.

By: oldgulph707. on 10 May 12, 22:24:53 The Electoral College is now the set of dedicated party activists, who vote as rubberstamps for presidential candidates. This is not what the Founding Fathers intended. The Constitution did not require states to allow their citizens to vote for president, much less award all their electoral votes based upon the vote of their citizens.

By: Darkfrog24. on 10 May 12, 19:11:49 In defense of this system, a straight popular vote would allow candidates to ignore areas that they knew would not support them and hope to get enough votes in their strong areas to cancel them out.

By: stynkanator. on 10 May 12, 17:23:12 i think having states that all the electoral votes goes to one person is a slap in the face to the voters.
