How can I unread this...

You didn't read the title before you click the thread?hypocrite

The electoral college works on a state level and its a winner takes all kind of system. Take for example California, it has 55 electoral College votes. If a republican gets the highest number of votes in California, it means the electoral college of California will give all their electoral votes to the Republican presidential candidate which is 55. The Democratic candidate will only take the votes casts for him but nothing from the electoral college.

So in this case above it is still the votes of the people that the electoral college works on.

Overall a presidential candidate can still win the highest number of votes and lose at the electoral college. How is this possible?

There are 52 states in the US, and all this states have different populations and different electoral college votes assigned to them. It's just like Nigeria, we have 36 states but they don't have the same population. Lagos, Kano, rivers etc have higher populations compared to the others, win this state with a great margin and you win the election in Nigeria.

In America the objective is almost similar, win the states with the most electoral college votes by winning majority of the votes in that state. Even if those states are 22 states and combined they have electoral college votes of 270 which is needed to win the presidential election, it is more important than winning remaining 26 states that have electoral college votes combined less than 270.

Now how each states are assigned electoral college votes is fair, so cheating is out of it. Each candidate knows what has to be done to get to 270 before election, and if they fail to meet it it's their fault.

Thank you

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.

So what's the need for everybody to go out and vote?

Buhari is 77years,somebody should pls ask him if he will be alive to join us pay back the dept he is putting us daily.

naija4life247:
The only good thing Buhari has done in his life is withdrawing Nigeria’s former nominee and replacing it with this woman Ngozi Iwealla. Though I do not like her a single bit, but I have to support a fellow Nigerian against the world, when we get back home, we continue our roforofo fight. Congrats puff puff cheeked world bank fraudster and now WTO DG. Let’s see what she does in WTO

And your support has zero effects, bloody tribalist,get lost.

Shehuyinka:
WITH the US presidential elections results due in a matter of a few days, countries around the world are monitoring the race closely as the outcome could mean different things to different nations.

President Donald Trump, though, perceived in some quarters as a polarizing figure, his brand of politics and foreign policies have favoured countries like Isreal and Sudan amongst others.

For Joe Biden, the Democratic Party hopeful, if he wins, his victory could usher in a breath of fresh air to several countries who are hoping for relief from the crippling sanctions by Trump administration.

However, based on the positions of both candidates during the Presidential debates, America’s foreign policies may not be significantly favourable to Nigeria.

On October 22, when Biden was asked if he would weaken the US oil industry to pursue a more environmentally friendly energy policy.

“I would transition away from the oil industry, yes. The oil industry pollutes, significantly…It has to be replaced by renewable energy over time,” Biden stated.

A Biden-win with a preference for a diversified energy option will certainly affect the fortune of Nigeria, a country that relies majorly on oil revenue.

However, President Trump’s administration has already seen an increased US oil production at its peak, lifting a 40-year ban placed on oil importation and stopped the imports of crude oil from Nigeria.

The energy policies of President Trump and Biden do not involve Nigeria in its scheme considering its preparation for a post-oil future.

Nigeria boasts of the world’s ninth-largest proven gas reserves but a potential Biden administration could settle on the possibility of deploying natural gas as a transition fuel to a low carbon emissions economy.

In January, President Trump expanded his administration’s travel ban to include Nigeria, along with five other countries its likely with a Trump win the immigration restrictions will still be in place.

The ban on Nigerian immigrants which took effect on Feb. 22, would not prevent travel by Nigerians coming to the US on student and employment visas.

A question most Nigerians have ahead of the US election is who will be most likely to rescind the US restrictions on immigration from Africa’s most populous nation.

According to a Gallup poll in July, despite the immigration ban placed on Nigeria by the US, a majority of Nigerians have a positive view of the U.S.’s leadership.

Though Biden is yet to pick interest in Nigeria from his position during the debates but apart from revoking the travel ban on Nigeria it is hard to know his stand on US interests in Nigeria.

Joe Keshi, a former Nigerian consul to the US who spoke on a breakfast programme on Arise TV said Nigeria’s interests will be largely represented if more American – Nigerians seek for elective positions in the US.

“The Democratic Party has a liberal-leaning towards countries where they have strategic interests but I have always advocated for Nigerian – Americans to seek elective positions in the US that is the only way we can retain Nigeria’s interests in the US,” he said.

Corroborating his stance, Pat Utomi, a Professor of Political Economy in an interview said today’s Nigeria would be marginal to U.S.’ strategic interests, except concerning terrorism and regional security interests.

He stated the scenario would change, “if the considerable number of Americans of Nigerian descent vote as a block, then they are consequential in affecting outcomes.”

In recent times, the US has consistently revealed that its protectionism policy of placing America’s interest first before other countries under President Trump has not put Nigeria’s interest in its crosshairs.

POLICE PRESS RELEASE,  LAGOS STATE COMMAND,  DATED 5TH NOVEMBER, 2020

WE WILL RESIST ANY PLANNED PROTEST IN LAGOS- POLICE

The Lagos State Police Command has vowed to resist any form of planned protest, procession or gathering under any guise or nomenclature in Lagos State  as the government and people of Lagos still nurture the wounds of the recent Endsars violence that wrecked havocs across the state.

The command wishes to inform the general public that based on intelligence gathering from relevant intelligence agencies, some unpatrioric elements or group of people have concluded plans to orchestrate another set of violence in the state in furtherance to the recent  Endsars violence, which has been analysed as dangerous and counterproductive.

Premised on this, the command, therefore, wishes to warn any individuals, group of students or any groups who might want to stage any form of protest, either "peaceful" or violent, or gathering whatsoever, to desist as the police and other security agencies will
collectively and tactically resist any security threats or threats to public peace which might be triggered by protest or protesters in Lagos State.

The Police command, emphatically, warns parents and guardians to discourage their children or wards from embarking on any protest in the state as the possibility of hijacking it by armed hoodlums to cause grieve and pains like the recent past is evident.

We encourage the general public to ignore any call for protest and go about their lawful businesses as all hands are on deck to maintain law and order and public safety across the length and breath of the state.

Its should be," police warn political hoodlums who may try to hackjack peaceful protest..Misplaced priority, this is why no one take them serious.

Triton1996:
The leader of INRI Evangelical spiritual church, Primate Ayodele’s prophecies on the election in the United states calls for serious attention.
He has been making several prophecies on the election since December 2019 when he first prophecied that the only Candidate that can unseat Donald Trump Is Joe Biden.

He also advised Joe Biden to pick Kamala Harris if he wants to unseat Donald Trump in the election.

Now, looking at the prophecy he gave on Sunday, two days to the election, and the situation on ground now, one would be right to say his words will determine who wins the election at the end of the day.

Primate Ayodele in the last prophecy adviced Joe Biden on how he can win Donald Trump, and this was shared across several platforms

These were his words

‘Joe Biden should not rejoice yet if at all he is leading in any part of the country according to the polls. Trump still has some technicality to come ahead of Joe Biden, unless Joe Biden uses Trump weakness to defeat him and work seriously on the electoral college and some states that include Ohaio, California, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado.

“Mark my word, If Joe Biden loses in these states, he will lose the election to Donald Trump at the end of the day’’
With this last prophecy, one can deduce that Primate Ayodele is trying to say Joe Biden should ensure he doesn’t lose all of these states and if He does, He has lost the election.

At the moment, Joe Biden is leading California, Wisconsin, Colorade, But lost Ohio, remaining Pennsylvania to go, according to the Prophecy of Primate Ayodele.

Also, news making rounds on credible platforms has it that Joe Biden is currently leading, If He wins Pennsylvania, He might be coasting to victory, as Primate Ayodele has put it.

Has religion taken away you ability to reason very well?This is pure advise not prophesy.

Joe Biden should not rejoice yet if at all he is leading in any part of the country according to the polls. Trump still has some technicality to come ahead of Joe Biden, unless Joe Biden uses Trump weakness to defeat him and work seriously on

We are in the month of November. I'm still not married. A close female friend of mine will be getting married in December. Two of my close friends got married this year too. I'm feeling depressed right now. Nothing interests me. My decoder is subscribed and I can't watch TV. I have food but I'm not hungry. I have money but I'm not happy. Who says money is happiness? Some men are coming my way but they are not my spec. I'm very beautiful and look so younger than my age. So stop imagining the looks of an old Lady. Why can't I find the man of my dreams? Please you people should pray for me. Is there any good luck herb that you can recommend for me to get my husband? Thanks

Reazest:
Did I tell you I'm trading demo? I trade with real money. Stay away from my mention. Over Sabi man.

So if you have been trading live why are you looking for money to start? Go and hustle, when you raise money you can start with your personal money.

Reazest:
Brother, I have been trading forex for the past 7yrs. I know what I'm doing, so leave me alone please.

I started trading forex since 2002.Believe it or not,the day you start trading with live money that day you will realize you just started afresh. Demo trading is different from real trading

Reazest:
It is tested and proven. Infact I'm looking for loan to execute my trading carrier.

What is tested and proven?do you know when I started trading forex?you can't start forex with loan and make money out of it..The pressure will make you rather lose it.

DigitalPastor:
Drop link to your 95% consistent winning rate for the last 6months.

wrong, you don't need 95% winning rate to be profitable in Forex..It's about your risk vs reward ratio you chose,that's what determines success.. By the way the ideal of op asking for money to start trading is bad..It's advisable to start trading with money one can afford to lose,in that case there won't be emotional attachment..

I never reach 40,but I have seen this chameleon severally, which one is 100 years ago?scientist make una fear God oh.

adegboyegafatai:

HitlerGaddafi:
I foresee trouble and a booming rate of armed robbery in the next few months. Alot of rifles were looted from police stations. They have gotten into the wrong hands.

Secondly, there's a saying that you don't know the value of what you have until you lose it. These policemen have left Nigerians to their own fate. Same with the Lastma officials . Lagos State doesn't feel safe anymore.

Time for state police. The Nigeria police of today is same with arm robbers. If they had done their work to protect the protesters things wouldn't have degenerated to the level it got to..

Ishilove:
Some days back, the Nigerian social media users were dragging Desmond Elliot like Tiger generator because he tagged the youths as children. I was a bit indifferent about the whole brouhaha because wetin I dey think big pass all that noise and after watching the now infamous video, my indifference did not change.

Desmond later came out to apologise in tears for calling us yoots 'shidren', and while I was wondering aloud on this forum what the whole fuss about, my friend told me offline told me this-

"The problem is that the Nigerian social media space is now a lynch mob. Nobody is ready to listen to common sense, people are incapable of comprehending simple ideas and people are very intolerant of any view that does not agree with theirs

People are reacting to Desmond Elliot's video based on what they think he said, not based on what he actually said"

This friend shared the full YouTube clip with me and after watching it again, I realised how very toxic social media has become.

I stumbled on an article by Ivan-Whyte Eagle Lawson who has articulated my thoughts on this whole distracting nonsense featuring Desmond as the lead character.

Long post alert!! Stop here if your attention span is one tweet long.
