Post yfw Trump wins the popular vote but the Electoral College elect Hillary as President

The college won't vote against the state. If you win the state, you win all the states the electoral votes in the state.

It pretty much all rests on Colorado.

>NV, OH, FL, NC all go Trump pretty easy
>VI, PA are probably out of play due to demographic shift
>NH and MI are possible but unlikely

Heads up: The reverse is more likely at the moment.

The electoral college is increasing Trump's chances right now.

>PA
>demographic shift

The popular vote shouldn't mean shit anyway. If it did, California could get their way against 20 other states.

>American democracy

>American freedom

Top KEK americucks.

American votelaws are one of the most retarded laws.

It happened with Bush v gore in 2000. Gore won the popular vote, but Bush won the electoral college.

This guy may be right. This election may end up making me glad the electoral college still exists.

It would make up for Al Gore in 2000. And maybe with first Democrats and then Republicans screwed by the electoral college we might actually see reform.

>European education
That is not how it works at all. Socialism kills brain cells, holy fuck.

Well shit, yeah I remember seeing someone say that now. I was like 4 then so I wouldn't know, was there any major backlash or did the people just take it?

Still, I feel like people are way more enthusiastic about Trump?

Oh please, everyone from there says that the large cities are succumbing to the NY liberal crowd. It isn't swinging. Michigan is more likely to swing.

Gore only won the popular vote by 500,000. States are awarded electoral votes based on population. Basically what happened was people in populous states voted slightly less in quantity than less populous states. Therefore Bush won the electoral votes of states that have a lot of electoral votes, but those states didn't have as high of a turnout.

Basically, it's blown out of proportion by college kids who just learned about the 2000 election but didn't understand the basics of the voting system. Trump will win the electoral vote anyways. The "electoral college" doesn't get not just choose who they give electoral votes to (despite what reddit might tell you).

That's the way it usually it works, but the people in the electoral college in most places are free to vote how they want and ignore the people.

The Electoral College offers Republicans an advantage. If Trump wins popular vote, he wins the election

Don't get me wrong, I love Trump.

This election is redpilling so many.

So I imagine a shillary win as fantastic too. The bantz would be glorious. Every step of the establishment in her reign reviled and skewered by the new opposition (I hesitate to use alt-right because of the potential awakening of the Bernouts)

A true redpill against the establishment needs more than 50% to swallow it. Otherwise we just get gridlock. Maybe it will take 4 more years.

But the fire rises, and I don't see that stopping.

...

How does it work then? You should explain insted of letting Sweden do it.

Think of brit's a billion constituencies deciding pm
Drop it to 50 plus extras
Weight them based on population
That decides pres

Usually all states' electors (think mps) vote along party lines and democratic result
However, tory mp can defect to blairites for example immediately after election, it's legal and well... it will be glorious if this changed the pres result

Why don't you explain to us your dodgy Jewish voting system then instead of being an arse wipe about it? How is it right that nobody's vote matters in the end (as is being implied).

...

I explained here. It's simple really. Each state has a certain amount of electoral votes. Electoral votes are awarded based on population.

In 2000, Gore had been counted as having less than 500,000 more votes than Bush. Out of 100 million+ votes, this equals a virtual tie. The margin was so slim in Florida that a recount was necessary. Both candidates agreed to a recount as the Supreme Court deliberated over who would be next President. Bush kept his cool and acted victorious. Gore sperged out, grew a bread and ran off into the woods for a month. When he came back, he conceded before the Supreme Court even made their decision. They were probably going to give Gore the victory based on popular votes, but he wigged out.

That was a very tight victory, and the race wasn't nearly as nasty as this one. As someone who was a Democrat back then, GWB wasn't my first choice but the thought of him winning didn't give me a visceral sense of anger and disgust like how people feel about the person they aren't voting for in this election.

To put it in context of you were too young to remember much about the 2000 election, GWB pretty much ran as the "healthcare candidate" and was hoping to pass an Obamacare type system. He didn't run as the bumbling retard who was going to invade Iraq and Afghanistan

Point being, the stakes in 2000 weren't perceived to be quite as high. Any fuckery where someone wins the popular vote but loses the electoral college this year could have some grave ramifications

So all you have to do is to import 20 million immigrants and give them citizenship to gain extra electoral votes? Gee, republicans are stupid as fuck. Long live Democrats! Long live refugees!

Are you actually implying that Gore would have been a bulwark against globalism and that the Jews feared his Presidency? Are you are a fucking moron?

>Meanwhile at electoral college

You reek of desperation, shill.

How?

>Nobody supports Hillary
>Nobody cares to show up at her rallies
>She is feeling very ill, collapsed
>According to Bill last collapse from such a """""Heat Stroke"""""" it took her 6 months to recover
>Waiting for a president to come back after 6 months to do a half ass job
>She takes money from non profit foundations and wallstreet and then goes rest of the term on holiday like Obama
This election will be a landsline for Trump

Read about the election of the 1876. Tilden was way more popular and a man of the people and won the popular vote but the railroad tycoons were able to get Rutherford B Hayes in through the electoral college. He went on to use the United States military to end the great railroad strike, even though he lost the general election all along.

Wut

So mote it be.

It would probably take something like waco but Europoors have no idea people were really getting ready to go to war with the government

mfw Trump wins

There is very little chance of that happening, but much GREATER chance of the reverse.

> enjoy your hot-tempered President married to a porn slut who just wants to bomb the whole world and think that will end well

popular vote as republican
losing electoral college

what?

Were you even old enough to vote in 2000? The hubbub with the FL recount was that they did NOT recount the whole state, only a few counties. The very Republican-controlled state chose which counties to recount and declared victory without even doing a full recount. You know, the state where Bush's own brother was governor and that creepy skeleton Katherine Harris was Atty General.

The 2000 election is the fault of that one county clerk who designed horrible ballots that caused thousands to vote for Pat Buchanan when they meant Gore, look it up. She was a Democrat but her ballot didn't even make sense. Why were they in the order Bush, Buchanan, Gore--it's not even alphabetical nor does it have the top 2 parties first.

If she had listed Gore first, he would have been Pres and 9/11/01 would never have happened because the intel was there a month earlier which Bushie ignored.

I agree with this psot. I detested Bush, mostly because he was an idiot, but at least we knew that he had access to his father's network and had actually been in politics, and, whether we agreed with the politics or not, at least someone who understood how the world works would be in charge. Not like Trump.

And unfortunately, because social media now allows everyone ready-made "News" sources that only parrot their own viewpoint, there is far more polarization and anger than any previous election...and I don't see that ever getting any better. Most people are voting AGAINST someone for President this year, rather than For.

A lot of people were super pissed, but ultimately nothing came from it. I think they did a recount in Florida and it came up with the same result.

People are probably now more pissed that the middle East is even more fucked than usual as a result of Bush's policies, and that may not have happened under gore.

I wonder what kind of hanging chad bullshit Hill is gonna pull

No, that's not how it works. Most electoral votes win. California has lime 55 electoral votes. Say their turnout is really low (20% for example), they are still worth 55 votes because of the total population.
Turnout, that is, measuring voters out of total population, affects the confines of a single state.

>I don't know my own country's electoral process

Weren't the voting machines in Florida made by a company owned by a Bush?

...

>were you even alive when this happened
>let me explain
>tinfoil
Stfu faggot. Gore was going to be given the Presidency by the Supreme Court based on winning the popular vote. Florida was a giant (((red herring))). Gore came back after his retreat into Ted Kacyzinky's cabin and conceded to Bush. He gave Bush the victory. Sorry to burst your Michael-Moore-influenced bubble.

Didnt they do recounts in Florida?

Sounds like Huff Post quality bullshit. It's true his brother Jeb was governor but iirc recused himself from the legal preceding. It really all depends in which ballots should "count" I think.
Either way, Gore conceded before another recount, his autistic supporters couldn't bother to properly fill a ballot, and he lost his home state, and Nader btfo Gore in possible swing states.

>Yeah g-guys, Basically Gore gave B-Bush the win because I don't want to admit my country's laws are s-stupid

It's still bullshit that the person who got the most votes didn't win.

Thanks for correcting the record however I'm from the liberal part of the state and there is zero support for her

It's really not. Again, if California has enough population for 55 electoral votes, but only has like 40% turnout, then whoever wins the state STILL gets all 55 electoral votes. This type of process can very easily lead to incongruity between popular and electoral votes.

He lost Florida and admitted defeat even though the Supreme Court was going to give him the win. You are probably a teenager, and you are from Europe. Basically you know nothing about anything because you live in a literal 1984. I'm sure BBC still has *wink-wink* jokes about how Bush "stole" the election. STFU faggot and go back to watching the Inbetweeners.

>They didn't get their vote correctly because they can't read
Justice

I suppose, but also remember that small states like Wyoming are much more valuable, because a vote there is worth thee times as much as one in California, because it as a sixtieth of the population but a twentieth of the seats.

Mate calm down, I know that he admitted defeat, but it still seems that you're in a bit of denial.

...

Literally no one cared then.

We viewed all politicians as paid jerkoffs.

Only Trump has been different. People hoped Obama would be different cause he was a muslim nigger born in Kenya. Nope! We got bamnoozled. He was another globalist shill.

...

>democrats defense is that they were too retarded to be able to read

We really should bring literacy tests back just so dumbasses can't cry that they randomly pushed a button that didn't give them what they wanted

you, good sir, have a poetic way with words.

To be fair the very populist and anti-globalist argument has only crystallized with trump.

The tea party was pretty convinced the government was working against the best interest of the people, but they did not seem to grasp or articulate the vastness of the fucked up state of being.

The occupy people only saw the banks and big business as being against the little guy.

Now the view is that both the politicians, banks and big business are operating against the best interest of the people.

Right, that's on the other end of the extreme though. Imagine a scenario where literally only 100,000 Californians vote (that's what, less than 5% of their population), still worth 55 EC votes. Imagine Wyoming has every person of their roughly 500,000 vote, it's still only 3 EC votes.
I'm not saying it's a great system, but winning EC and not popular vote is bound to happen when turnout lags.

Nowhere is it written that the electors have to vote the way the population did. He could win the popular vote AND the majority of the electoral college and still not become president.

Can't remember the never, but some states criminally punish faithless electors.

*Number

This election is different, also the scorned voters of 2000 were limp wristed gunless pussies. If it happens this time we might actually see some shit.

>MCQA
even the id knows Ahmed

>brave minority risks prison for defying trump
>the top 10 reasons you have to break the law

Yeah, but it's still possible for,if the turnout was the same for every state, for you to win with something like 20% percent of the vote. I know voter turnout isn't exactly the same in state, but it's still possible to win with a a totally unrepresentative voter margin.

I'd argue the ~60% voting is unrepresentative.

It won't happen. They said the same shit here, but people are too lazy to do a shit other than complaining online.

Sometimes people (mostly the Working class) don't care about voting, however much you encourage them.

ding ding ding

wtf, the popular vote SHOULD matter

wtf......doens't matter by state. It should matter by people

if people all vote for fucking pepe for pres. Pepe should be pres. It's the actual will of the people

This electoral college is bullshit. It's just another way for a body to control the peoples.

Oh the peoples want this, well we know better

i thought america was fucking free. the more i find out about how picking your president works. the less and less i think it's fucking free

You guys are slaves to the upper class. End of story.
