Jackson105:
If u read what I wrote well, u will see it is "margin" I wrote and not the population or number of electorates

You're right
My bad

Yampotatocarrot:
Pardon me, but is it when the total votes have been counted or the first to get there?

Also, can a candidate just pick selected states and campaign vigorously in them to give him the 270 votes?

It's kind of confusing, especially the part where it's not the candidate with the highest number of votes that'll win the election, not even the candidate that wins the highest number of state, cos some of the states might just be "useless" in the general scheme of things

Sorry for the question if they're much

@bold
Exactly.

There are some states know as Swing States or Toss up states. This is because they swing from democrats to republican party when voting in every election.
E.g Florida or Pennsylvania
Both states voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 i.e democratic but in 2016 voted Trump i.e republican.

Both parties camp in these states and campaign even till election day because the states can go either way unlike solid states which traditionally vote for one party for decades
e.g California always vote democratic so Trump will see it as a waste to heavily campaign there.
And Alabama always vote republican so Biden won't bother campaigning there.

Jackson105:
She won majority votes in states with less number of electoral college, states with high number of electoral college are called swings state, those are the most important states.

For Example candidate A can win a majority votes with a margin of 5million in Tiger city, which has 10 electoral college, while candidate B can win in Lion city with a margin of just 1 million but lion city has electoral college of 30 candidate B will be declared winner, although Candidate A has the majority votes with a margin of 4million, but candidate B has higher electoral college votes which is 30 compared to 10.

I hope u get this analysis.

This isn't exactly so.
States with more population have a higher number of electors in the electoral college
California has 55, Texas 38, NY 29, Florida 29 etc

States with smaller populations have fewer electoral college numbers eg Vermont with 3, Wyoming with 3 etc.

YOU PRETENDED AS IF YOU DIDNT SEE WHAT CDC TOLD COVID PATIENTS RIGHT.

JUST A REMINDER

I think it's only fair to allow them express their constitutional right.
If Trump could break quarantine rules to go on a joy ride to wave to his adoring fans outside Walter Reed when he was infected these people should be allowed to vote

bolkay4:
Think about popular vote as what obtains here in Nigeria. In other words, the difference between the votes garnered is what determines the winner. That is not applicable in the USA. In the US, states have points allocated to them. For example, Florida has 29 points.

So, if Trump wins Florida, he has +29. Same for other states. As a mathematical rule, the first candidate to reach 270 points win. You can read up on the Electoral College system.

It's not points allocated per say.
The electoral college is made of 538 electors. These are people selected by each state to vote for the president on behalf of the people in that state.

Florida like you mentioned has 29 electors because it has 27 congressmen and 2 senators making a total of 29. California has 55 (53 congressmen and 2 senators) as it has more representatives in Congress because it's more populated than Florida.
But a state like Montana has 3 because it's sparsely populated and hence has less representatives.

To win presidency you must win more than half of the total 538 which is 270.
That's why Hillary lost. She got millions of votes more than trump but couldn't win half the electoral college.

Interesting how the virginity vs character debate is always about girls.
It's almost like men are excluded from being virgins themselves but have strong opinions about marrying one.

DieRich5:
womanizer gat no feeling.......do u know DAT Zeus married one of he sister and have child wit he other sister too? ...... if u wan known things abt Greek gods go play "god of war"

@bold LMFAO

Thanks for the recommendation but I'm sure there are more detailed sources about greek mythology than a 21st century videogame

Benalfa:
hype wetin,dat series was definitely worth,if dat isn't worth 8,I don't know what will worth 8

True.
Blood of Zeus was entertaining. But then again, adaptations of Greek mythology are always entertaining because the gods are the most dysfunctional toxic characters ever.

Points to this adaptation cause it managed to flesh out Zeus, gave him the most character development and showed us a different side than the usual angry, womanizing asśhole we know him to be.

Deserved 8/10
I just hope there's a second season cause Netflix is sooo liberal when it comes to canceling shows.

Public proposal is one of the most unnecessary trend of the 21st century.

Why ask such an intimate, life changing and personal question in the presence strangers.

Ovems:
I have seen episode 1 of both Vagabond and Memorist. Healer was better than both in my opinion. Lol. Will look for the others. Thanks.

Healer is easily in my top 5 fav dramas.
Ji Chang wook's smooth transition from mumbling, frightened reporter to badass who rules the night kicking bad guys butts remains unmatched.

And the soundtrack!!! Eargasm after eargasm

MizMyColi:
Welcome.

If you're re an Action Afficionado, please move Vagabond to number three.

And add City Hunter too
And maybe K2!

Afternoon guys,
Please does anyone know a site where I can watch Ha Ji won's new movie Pawn.
Just saw the trailer and I'm dying to see the full movie, it looks so good!!!

Emily in Paris

Bombass soundtrack, but then again it's a Netflix show so no surprise there

The hypocrisy of this man (and most leaders by extension) disgusts my soul.

As President you're offered the best kind of life while the people who pay for said life suffer from diseases and economic crises and are still taxed to date to fatten government coffers.

Just ew

Ovie56:
LOL I mean LOL after months of BLM riots which no one in the media bats an eye about social distancing?
Well she has 99.996 chance of survival according to science.
That said I think Kayleigh is the best Press Secretary ever that woman is amazing she put leftist in their place all the time, shes the 2nd most hated human being in America.

Most BLM protesters wear masks and protest outdoors.
Trump holds rallies indoors and very few of his supporters wear masks.

McEnany doesn't put anyone in "their places" all she does is lie, backpedal and repeat lines like a broken record.

Why not?

For decades most political systems were intrinsically tied with Faith.
The Pope had a huge influence on French and British monarchy.

RaphaellaDD:
LOL

Is the rating for all time? If it is then the world of the married is not the BEST kdrama ever but it sort of deserved that rating for a jtbc drama, it was really really good. Just prepare to be frustrated

Higheset rated in cable television

RaphaellaDD:
LMAO, you people want me to suffer alone abi
I was joking in that post, the drama is AWESOME please watch it with me

Nuh-uh sugar! Too late, you've taken a bullet for the team and we appreciate you for that.


I'm religiously following the list of highest rated Kdramas according to Nielson.
Number 1 is World of The Married so I'm going to see it instead.

Have you seen it? Is it any good? And worth the number 1 spot?

SKY CASTLE

I went in wondering what kind of plot this drama had to have to been so highly rated with rave reviews, I was left completely hooked and floored which is surprising considering this drama had none of the conventional drama formulas or tropes I settle for.

It wasn't a romcom, had no compelling romantic storyline, didn't have an annoyingly possessive chaebol heir, a down-on-her-luck candy or a predictable plot but the drama hit close to home for me. The sheer illogical desperation and the lengths helicopter parents go to project their own values of success on their offspring.

I was conflicted to love and hate the characters and that’s what had me hooked. Their struggles felt real, I didn't agree with their methods of trampling anyone to get their children to the top but I couldn't condemn it either because they're merely trying to survive a damned system and give their kids a higher platform, more connections and networking options to get up farther on the ladder of success.

Easily the best Kdrama I've seen.

RaphaellaDD:
I AM LOSING MY MIND

Jesus Christ guys 'When I was the most beautiful' is the most vexing drama ever produced. WHAAAAT??Everybody is moving mad in this drama. I've watched a lot of dramas with SELFISH characters but MY GOODNESS. This family takes the prize. Wow. Wow. Wow. The three leads but especially Ha Seok Jin should be drawn and quartered for choosing this script. What in the madness.

So basically, SPOILER ALERT:

HSJ got married to ISH even though Jisoo was doing puppy love. After they got married he had an accident (He's a race care driver) and they never found him or his body. SEVEN YEARS LATER! They discover that he's alive but didn't come back or communicate with them at all because he's paralyzed. Yes. Oh my jingles I'm fuming!!!!

Then back to Jisoo's matter, he is so f*cking irritating in this drama. Oh my God. So irritating. Always playing the victim as if love is by force.

The writer needs to be dipped in meat stock and thrown into a den of wolves. The producer, director and basically anybody that wasn't forced at gunpoint to participate in the production of this nonsense pooduction deserve the same treatment.

Myself and the other viewers watching this stupid drama need to be flogged 2,000 with 22" long canes, soaked in Cameroon pepper.

Guess who has given up on this drama? Not me, because I obviously love wasting my time, watching rubbish. I sha want to know how it will end.

I was thinking of giving this drama a chance.
Thank you for this post.
I'll save my precious time and data

Unrelated to the topic but TayoAinaFilms, your videos on YouTube tell the most beautiful stories about the Nigerian landscape.

Nursing is more lucrative and actually more valuable especially if you have plans to migrate (which you should!)

toykathy:
Hey! Face somewhere else. Oppa is happily married to me. Even Kang is managing being a side chick

Honey, I'm not dragging him. I'm just admiring the beautiful works of God.

Or am I not allowed to?

Since chocolate has ended, I'm curious to see if your answers have changed

But I don't have the time to type the questions so figure it out yourselves

King 2 Hearts is still my favourite of hers.

At least till I summon the willpower to sit through 51 episodes of Empress Ki (seriously 51 hours on one drama, if I wanted to waste time like that I'd watch a telenovela)


I just finished A Korean Odyssey and Lee Seung Gi reminded me why they say good boys go to heaven but bad boys bring heaven to you.
What a badàss

Seriously who's idea was it to drape him in ridiculously gorgeous suits and fur coats?!! Give that stylist a raise.
LSG can hit me with a rock and I'd still be a hoe for him (softly though)

The story was captivating, fashion: impeccable, CGI: laughable and ending: trash.
