Just because I am too retarded to figure out how to post from youtube doesn't mean you shouldn't watch this mash-up of the women's march and Hillary's campaign ad "our children are watching." Masterful.

Watch it all.

I did. It's very clever... just throw it right back. I would put this on my FB wall, but I'm not posting anything political for at least 100 days. My wall is..... a hot mess. It's either Armageddon or the second coming of Jesus over there.

To pinpoint the issue with the EC, is the issue with House of Representative seats appropriation.

I've made this spreadsheet using the current census figured, House seats, and calculated seats per capita and seats per million.



Shit like this is not good (graph includes senators):



The constitution laid it out pretty straight, 1 house seat for every 30,000 voting citizens. If you need to modify the formula, fine, but make it even.

By your own spreadsheet, look at the populations, if you get rid of the EC, how many states do you require to have a majority? Think about that for a second... that would mean that instead of going to all 50 states, you'd go to 7 to perhaps 12 at most...

That is the minority controlling the majority... ever hear of wag the dog by the tail? Same concept...

@California - Sorry man - you're a Zombie economy.....you just haven't realized it yet. The middle class is stumbling over themselves to get out....you're only importing residents who will drain your state's tax revenues....its just a matter of time. "Blah...blah....We're the world's 5th biggest economy...blah blah blah....." The trend is what matters....and you're trend is not good...sure the 0.1% techies are making $$$$....but what's happening to the middle?

The residents we're importing in huge numbers are from the rest of our country, not outside of it.

Besides, when foreigners come here they work. Sending money back home, working for low wages, and generally fucking up the economy for middle class workers are the problem, not draining tax revenues.

Our local governments do a great job of draining tax revenues on dumb shit.

That why I was talking about House of Representative seats, I'm not arguing the case that the Electoral College screwed everyone over this election, but I am pointing out where the flaws come from. I don't think the EC is the problem, as I prove below.

My original question for those saying scrap it or keep it, is if there was a migration event that caused a big state to have half it's population move, would that change your opinion. Since the house seats are based on the census, every 10 years, you could end up with a huge anomaly for 2 presidential elections where 1 state's votes are worth 2 to 4 times as much as the rest of the country.

In general, representation in Congress, per citizen, is set up very poorly. This issue then affects the electoral college, so that some votes are worth more than others.

When it comes to the Electoral College, the winner take all rules are where you get the popular vote discrepancies. That is a separate topic all together.

I ran the numbers for constitutional House seat allocation, and set up the Electoral College accordingly. Trump still won:

Current allocation:
Trump: 306 (56.88%)
Clinton: 232 (43.12%)

Constitutional allocation:
Trump: 5872 (56.43%)
Clinton: 4533 (43.57%)
