Daughter of Jezebel cannot be in the White House.

I googled your pic and saw that Kamala's name was maliciously inserted, whereas her name was not inscribed in the original banner.

How can you claim to be fighting for Christianity, by using something that is falsified?

1787 electoral law in 2020, US wake up, your excuse for arcade and outdated law was because of communication challenges far back then. Now you have better communications technology system so, why still maintaining an obsolete law?

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.
They were also freemasons.

Then no need to suffer the masses or waste money in voting, when the time comes, let de electoral college do it alone.

Presently the system favour republicans.
The Democrats can easily get the highest number of votes because they win in most big cities in America,.

They were actually smart to have come up with this system. At that time there was no technology to track the votes all over the country if it were to be based on popular votes

Now I'm wowed! The founding fathers of the USA devised this ingenious system as far back as the 18th century. Even a professor of statistics may not be able to come up with this.

And majority of the state legislatures too have to vote to ratify the decision of the federal law makers.

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 think lik.
if you so then why do we have faithless electors

Even if Nigerian adopts college electoral system, the northern states will still have high college electoral votes. The north will always have the advantage due to population
I still prefer our own way of determining when a state is won or lost, which is having 1/4 of total vote casted in a state AND winning 2/3 of the Nigerian states. This is better and clearer than the so called Electoral College Vote.

There are human electors in electoral College just that they are always delegates from one party. If Republicans wins a state, then the Republican electors are the ones that will cast the vote for that state and vice versa. It's rare for an elector to vote against his/her party.

When you tell them to restructure this country to regional they insist no okay then separation should be the key

The time when the world is like this. Those whom understand the times should also understand that the South Nigeria in all drastic measures should seperate from the north. Now when the flowers is still sprouting up.

If Nigeria is gonno be divided, it will be more than two Nations.

The Electoral College is not human, but numbers. How could 55 people vote for only one candidate, does it mean not none of them could have voted for the other person in the popular votes? Electoral College is no longer fashionable, the US should accept this fact and repeal it.

That's is the stupidity with the system! It's winner takes all and a reflection of capitalism!

In fact 12 state can produce president:

California. 55
Texas. 38
Florida. 29
New York 29
Pennsylvania. 20
Illinois . 20
Ohio. 18
Georgia. 16
Michigan. 16
North Carolina 15
New Jersey. 14
Virginia. 13

With just these 12 states, you are president of US! The remaining 38 can go n die except for Congress!

Hilary Clinton publicly said she is part of the electoral college for this election.

Brought about by encouraging mass immigration. The most effective Presidents have always been Republicans.
Most people dont know the Abraham Lincoln who abolished slave trade and Dwight Eisenhower who linked the east coast to west coast by cutting through the boulders of Colorado were both Republicans .
