Ẹranko! I knew this since the year 2000, if you have issues with comprehension, blame it on your father who failed to give you proper education.

Says the intellectual who said the Electoral College Electors are not humans

Nuel4:
they are human beings called Electors. The party that win a state select the electors. For example in California, democrats will choose 55 people to vote for Biden on the 14th of December while Republicans will select 38 electors to vote for Trump in Texas. One of those electors can decide to vote against their party, although it is rare but it happened in 2016 if that happened, he would be called a "faithless elector"
Without electoral college, California, New York and Texas will 100% choose every single president in USA.
If we had electoral college here in Nigeria, the North wouldn't have been able to hold us hostage

Some people will still insult you & call you a liar after this well written piece.

femi4:
Imagine a natural disaster/war reducing the population or causing emigration in one of the key States, such state will still hold on to her massive electoral votes

Maybe, but it won't be so for long because Electoral votes are awarded based on the number of congressional house districts a state has + 2 senatorial seats and House seats are carved out in proportion to the population.
That's why California wants the Census Commission to count illegal immigrants so that they'll get more seats in Congress & more Electoral votes

ThatFairGuy:
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.

1. Warren and Sanders have never been presidential nominees, where did you get that from?
2. Doing away with the Electoral College will lead to the dissolution of the Union that is the United States of America. Many states only joined the Union because of the Electoral College.

Ifesinachi22:
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.

Do you even bother to read? Ever heard of a faithless elector? How did Bernie Sanders get one Electoral vote in 2016 when he wasn't even on the ballot? Most electors pledge to vote with the state's popular votes.
If state legislatures in PA, NC, MI, AZ controlled by the GOP select electors who pledge to vote for Trump in the Electoral College on Dec 14th, there's nothing anybody can do about it.
Why do you think Democrats hate the Electoral College?

Macpro:
op, since California has 55 electoral votes, why is she not considered a swing state?

California used to be a swing state back in the 60s & 70s, but lost that status when she turned blue.
Swing state status has nothing to do with the number of electoral votes a state has, it has to do with her voting pattern. Ohio, PA, WI, MI, FL are swing states because they can go to a Republican this year & go to a Democrat 4 years from now. California, New York, Alabama, Texas, New Jersey, etc. are not swing states because they've been voting one way for more than 40 years.

Latidoh1:
Biden won on the two sides.

Stop saying what you don't know. No president has been elected in the USA. The Electoral College vote will take place on the "Monday after the second Wednesday in December".
The votes will be counted on Jan 3rd, announced on the 13th.
Sorry

rolams:
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.

For every example of fraud against Clinton you provide, I'll show you 2 evidences of fraud against Trump.

dejonathan:
If na 269 each nko?

Then it'll go the the House of Representatives where each state will have one Rep vote for one candidate. A 26-state majority is needed to win.
Then the Senate would vote for the VP candidate, 51 majority votes is needed to win.

oluwaseyi0:
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

It is not democratic because the USA was never designed to be a democracy. An electoral college vote in Vermont or Wyoming is 3 times more valuable than a vote in California. That was by design.

greatseed:
This time Biden won the electoral college & popular votes. That is a landslide!!!

Who told you Biden won the Electoral College when it hasn't even been held? The Electors will vote on the 14th of December, and in most States, the Legislature picks the electors and guess what, the Republicans control the legislature in NC, MI, PA, WI, GA, AZ and many other swing states. Keep watching.

pansophist:
In a nutshell, the USA is not democratic afterall.

No, they were never designed to be democratic, they're a Constitutional Republic.

RedScorpion:
He would loose even in the Supreme Court
All his claims are baseless without evidence

You'd think that if you spend all day watching CNN

IamPatriotic:
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.

Ekpa! The Electoral College is made up of 538 electors. If 270 of those electors vote for a particular candidate, he becomes president even in 200 million Americans vote for a different candidate.

Jeromejnr:
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.

That's how a true Federal system of government works.

Nna mehnnnnnnnn


I get the money but I ain't spending 1dollar to marry a non-virgin girl, it's a promise.

Jones4190:
my protection is from God not trump,

1. trump is not a Christian, he is a killer, he killed suleiman.

2. I can't I killed someone in the name of terrorist. God still have a plain for him

God is not looking for someone to take revenge on his behave. vengeance is mine said the Lord

Did you forget to take your drugs again?

HuntSon:
Nigga actually said votes "magically" appeared for Biden

did he forget that Mail in votes hadn't been counted when he was running his mouth??

Many people warned Trump not to boast until everything has been counted so he'll not cry blue murder when the mail in votes come through E don shock am now

When you take into account that mail-in votes are subject to fraud as proven in different elections, you'd be agitated too.

Koulture:
Cry baby

When we tell them they won't listen,Trump can only win nairaland likes and shares not the US elections.

People like fani kayode,Ipobs,Reno will develop high blood pressure this night.

I thought Trump is sent by God and cannot be defeated.

Don't get ahead of yourself, we all knew this would be a tight race, but Trump has a clearer path to victory. A win in PA, GA & NC, where he's leading, will get him to 270, Biden wins in NV & AZ will get him to 263.

TecM0:




Trump had already prepared for this, that's why he barricaded white house, and added extra security

The real loser here are the Republican that handed over their Political structure to immature Trump... Any attempt to use supreme court to invalidate Mail in votes, all the Senate seats, House of Representatives seat won by Republicans instantly becomes invalidated too


Postal Voting started as far back US Civil War, No one is complaining till Trump started losing in 2020

To understand a typical Trump Supporter's mindset watch the Video below, Yahoo boys don't joke with Trump supporters because they are very gullible

.

Universal unsolicited mail-in ballots (what the Dems) are different from solicited absentee ballots. Read a book.
The WH has been barricaded because of same Joe Biden who burnt down a church close to the WH in June because of a guy named George Floyd who died of a drug overdose in the presence of the cops, also the 100+ days of rioting & looting in other Dem controlled state and city.

Millions of our young girls model their lives after this hoore. Sad degeneracy.

John Stossl is incredibly intelligent, check him out

Portland is degenerating fast, & I love to see it.

gengheng:
"New Yorkers suffered gravely when this pandemic hit our state and as we see other states battle the surge of COVID-19, we want to be sure all Americans know what we know here — that it is essential to wear a mask in order to protect one another," Governor Cuomo said. "We can only beat this virus if we are united as one, not divided by ideology or politics. In that spirit we worked with the best and most creative team to deliver this vital message in multiple ways and in different voices — I wear a mask to protect you and you wear a mask to protect me. It is simple as that. Mask Up America."

Didn't Andrew Cuomo's nursing home policy kill 11,000 elderly people in nursing homes? Doesn't his state have over 32,000 covid deaths?

PDJT:
-Exactly.

-If he is indeed still breathing, he may well be in natural coma.

-Comas can last from a day to several weeks. In some but very rare cases, a coma may last as long as several years, after which the patient gradually wakes but may immediately progress into a vegetative state, or die soon after.

lol... Armchair medical expert. People in comas are supported by ventilators and iv fluids (providing essential nutrients and vitamins). What has his body been feeding on? Where did he get oxygen to breathe during the 3 months underground?
Don't make me cry

Farki:
I agree most African countries are horrible places to live, however Nigerian immigrants are one of the most educated immigrants to the United States but it didn't stop Trump from banning residency visas and visa lotteries for Nigerians.

Do you know why he banned Nigerians from entering into the USA?

kingxsamz:
Oga it's a yes or no question. All these shalaye is not necessary.
You are against abortion and you support Trump for that.
Now, would you support the abortion of your 14 years old child's pregnancy if she was raped by unknown men?
It's a yes or no. No need to shalaye.

Just see how you're sounding like a low IQ thug.
The answer is NO. Why? The baby committed no crime? Why would you abort the baby?
