in a small number of states it would be foolish for Democrats to notch a victory prior to the ballots being counted. Every vote counts and we will need to give 100% and maybe more to get our voters to show up for the election.

(1,022 posts)7. The Electoral College decides who will be elected president.
The actual vote is actually null.
I wonder, to myself, "If the Electoral College is such a great idea why haven't other democracies adopted the notion?"
Could it be that old fat white fucks like to stay in charge?
Nah, it's probably just in place to keep ignorant people from choosing our leaders.
Trump anyone?
Sometimes the fix is the problem.
