Evidences of massive electoral Fraud perpetrated all over USA has began to emerge. Dems are truly demon-possessed Satanists that want to control and enslave the World by all means. I was wondering how the good people of America would be so foolish enough to enthrone an habitual pedophile child molester and confirmed Satanist. Trump is not perfect, no human being is, not you not I. Americans must not accept the fraudulent victory of Leftists that Left the CREATOR of Humanity, and follow Satan. This Mailed-in ballots Fraud was repeated all over US for the abominable ForBiden to overtake Trump.

It's is the most democratic, big populated states get more electoral votes than smaller ones but still make the smaller states to matter in the schemes of things, smaller colonies/state won't feel they are not part, hence want to separate like biafra

President Buhari referring to a whole eastern region as 5% and highly inconsequential will not have happen if we use electoral college, everyone will simply be respected


Also the over-breeding of North simply for political purpose without plan to take care of what they born will not have been happening

Funny! I mean very funny!! It was not fraud when Hillary Clinton was defeated through the same system in 2016 right? Don't be deceived. Trump case was dismissed in Michigan over false claim and inability to proof his case. The same will happen to all the remaining cases.

Can we replicate electoral colleges in Nigeria? So that states that have more people would not always determine the outcome of the presidential election. I thought Nigeria copied American electoral process. Why was the electoral colleges exempted from ours?

It's true o!
Even dead Nigerians are voting. Can you believe it?
My aunt that died from Spanish flu just last week, told me she voted for Biden, twice. Twice!
It's just crazy how far these Democrats have taken it.
They're not content with drinking the blood of babies anymore, now they're dabbling in necromancy

We need to be really prayerful in these difficult times, my brother

Not possible. Once you get 270 from the electoral votes, the highest your opponent can get is 268.

Since 270+268 = 538 (Total electoral votes)
If na 269 each nko?

Honestly speaking, electoral college will do us good in Nigeria where the patriotic elites decide who emerges the President to curtail infant, immigrant and less inform voters from influencing the emergent of the President.

Blatant lies. There's no particular group of people called the Electors. Once a candidate wins a state. He wins all the Electoral College votes allocated to it. I used to think in this your direction till this year's election. I thought each state will deligate electors to the Electoral college. Its all lies. Once a presidential candidate wins a state, he wins the whole electoral college allocated to thT state, except Maine and Nebraska. What the electoral college will do after the elections is the same thing INEC does, which is to affirm the results computed. Now that Joe Biden has won and has given his vote of thanks without your imaginary Electors of Electoral College like you said, what then will happen if the electors sit like you said and vote against Biden and elect Trump instead?

There's no electors deligates to elect a president. They will only affirm the results we already know.

I used to think like you before now.

They should change the gofdam electoral college to Highest vote casted.

It would have saved America from this disgrace (Trump)

Some democrats, including former Democratic presidential nominees Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, are calling for an overhaul of the system. They want to get rid of the electoral college system completely, and replace it with the popular vote, so whoever gets the most votes wins the Presidency.
However, this would mean changing the US constitution. This would require both the house and the Senate to give a two-thirds majority, as well as 38 out of 50 state assemblies to agree to it – something many experts believe is almost impossible.

Then the Parliaments would vote to decide. The Senate votes for the Vice President while the House votes for the President.

Jeromejnr:
The funny thing about the U.S electoral system, is that even many Americans do not understand the system.

Many of them constantly have to be re-thaught on how the processes works.

If only the electoral system was under one umbrella. But each state having their own different laws, codes and processes makes it very complex.

I was watching the news and a particular host had to ask another to explain to him how it works in some states.

But its for the best. The people who built America had a very high IQ.
