Is it only me that thinks that this electoral college setting is easy vote buying.. A president can walk up to a governor or so and pay him so and so dollars to vote for him.. At least this one will be easier than going over to the citizens to share tradermoni farmermoni feedingmoni and all sort of nonsense moni we have here in Nigeria..

leicestercamper:
It is not as easy as you thought because voters determines who wins states electoral votes/college. Governor has one vote and you cannot buy rice or salt to woo American voters like it is done in Nigeria because poverty level in US is among the lowest, if not the lowest in the world.

Useless explanation from a Nigerian local champion- Maria Ude.

Electoral college is a form of allocation of numbers backed by the constitution to each state in America. Some states have 3, 4, 10, 20, 30, etc.

Like California has the highest electoral votes, followed by Texas. Politically, some states are more important to political parties than the other.

For instance, Wyoming, DC, Delaware, North & South Carolina have the least electoral votes, so politically speaking an American politician gives more attention to California and Texas, that has the highest electoral votes, than states with least electoral votes.

See the way the electoral votes are classified.

United States Electoral College Explained

As prescribed in the U.S. Constitution, American presidents are elected not directly by the people, but by the people's electors. The Electoral College was created by the framers of the U.S. Constitution as an alternative to electing the president by popular vote or by Congress. If it were by popular vote or who gets the most votes, Hillary Clinton would have won in 2016 and Joe Biden would have been declared winner by now. Biden has also received the most votes of any president in American history. Whomever reaches the 270 electoral votes will be officially declared winner. In this system, Trump still has a chance of winning.

The United States Electoral College is a name used to describe the official 538 Presidential electors who come together every four years during the presidential election to give their official votes for President and Vice President of the United States.The Constitution leaves states to decide how electors will vote. It began In 1804, 12th Amendment to the Constitution made sure that electors designate their votes for president and vice president, but the 12th Amendment leaves in place a tie breaking system established by the Constitution by which the House of Representatives breaks a tie on presidential electoral votes and the Senate.

The election of the president of the United States is a two-step process. First, voters cast ballots on Election Day in each state. In nearly every state, the candidate who gets the most votes wins the "electoral votes" for that state, and gets that number of voters (or "electors" in the "Electoral College." In the Electoral College system, each state gets a certain number of electors based on its total number of representatives in Congress. Each elector casts one electoral vote following the general election; there are a total of 538 electoral votes. The candidate that gets more than half (270) wins the election.

What happens if no candidate gets enough electoral votes?Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, the House of Representatives is required to go into session immediately after the counting of the electoral votes to vote for president if no candidate for the office receives a majority of the electoral votes. ... The House continues balloting until it elects a president.

Who sits on the Electoral College? The president and vice president of the United States are elected by the Electoral College, which consists of 538 electors from the fifty states and Washington, D.C. Electors are selected state-by-state, as determined by the laws of each state.

Addendum: Electoral College is a system born of compromise deeply rooted in America's slavery foundation. I will explain this in my subsequent post.

Thank you.

Thank you for refreshing our memories again OP.

We already know this before.

Both the popular vote and the electoral vote, Biden is coasting to victory and he would be declared the new POTUS, either trump likes it or not.


Trump condemned mail voting, and all sought, forgetting that was part of what made him won his first election .

He should please go and rest in his house, the Americans are done with him, tey don't want him anymore.


Please if you are close to trump, tell him to honorably and stylishly copied our dear GEJ and call Biden to congratulate him peaceful so that him and his son won't go to jail.

Most especially his son

Just look at this useless hopeless frustrated illiterate from the cursed backward shithole Abia state that's ravaged with filth, bad roads, erosion. Remain in the shithole Aba, that's where pigs like you deserve to live. No wonder you have not crossed River Niger before.

It is needful for people to go out and vote because in most states, the winner of the state automatically gets all the electoral college votes.

So voting by people in most states is needed because it helps to determine who gets all the electoral college votes in those states

They should just use the popular vote, electoral college bullshit isn't democracy to me, despite d fact that hillary Clinton won the 2016 election with 3 million votes, she still came second because of the College nonsense

byrron:


All northern states will have a minimum of 50 electoral college members while the other regions will have 10, 15 and 18 electoral college member's which will give the northern states the ability to decide who becomes the president of Nigeria.

The electoral college is an undemocratic antiquated system were the votes of the people doesn’t elect the president but choses those that goes on to elect the president.

Just imagine what quota system has done to Nigeria then imagine what having an electoral college will be like in Nigeria.[/i]
