    The VOTERS are the majority...if the VOTERS are the electoral college then the MAJORITY of those voters get to decide

  5. Again vinny...not everything is determined by law (you seem to have real difficulty in understanding that).

    Many societal norms are not decided by law but by acceptable behavior...farting in a full elevator for example..no law against it but most of society would deem it antisocial.

    if society really think its unacceptable they would make a law against it, like child sex.

    electoral collages dont represent the majority of the country.

    ...and yet they haven't...again in a free society not all majority thought is governed by law...I know that's hard for you to understand

    Didn't say it was...I said Majority rule...that applies equally to the electoral college results.

    Ask 2000 people if ramming avocados up your ass is right or wrong…you'll find a HUGE majority say wrong. Get back to me when you've done this and have the results.

    Wrong

    Candidate #1: 269
    Candidate #2: 135
    Candidate #3: 134
    Total = 538

    If no candidate receives 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives will pick the president. Each state delegation gets one vote, regardless of the number of congressional districts it has. 26 votes, representing a majority of the states, are required to win.

    Which means the majority of people and electorors could be overridden.

    Has that ever happened?

    ..and who were the house of representatives elected by?
  14. I'll concede I was wrong about the electoral college, I didn't consider the 3 candidate scenario.

    Respect

    I still think it's a great system for a federation of sovereign united states. It protects the minority from the majority.
