One Post's Electoral College

It doesn't matter who wins, the system seems out dated. A discussion of it isn't whining
Is the Senate outdated as well? For instance should Ohio have more senators than Wyoming?It doesn't matter who wins, the system seems out dated. A discussion of it isn't whining

"Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."

I'm advocating for breaking up the EC votes from each state based on the number of votes a candidate got there.
10 total votes. 60% Trump. 40% Clinton then 6 for Trump, 4 for Clinton.
This still means someone's vote in a small state counts for more, but it's closer to a popular vote.

Trump lost the popular vote because of states like democratic California who ran up the vote totals. California already gets rewarded by their number of electoral votes (55) which is far and away more than any other state so it is not like the democrats don't get rewarded already for winning a state like California.
It's all a moot point. To get rid of the electoral college would only start with 2/3rds majority votes in both houses of congress (hard enough in itself to accomplish) and then approved by 38 states (impossible). Better learn to deal with the electoral college.

Yes, yes, yes. We've already been told a dozen times in here it won't change. Idc. That's not the point of the thread.
Trump lost the popular vote because less people voted for him. You can't just not count Cali because you disagree with them...

Except that's not how the Constitution was designed to work. It is a living document, not written in stone.

You cannot have California and New York as the majority while the rest of America works hard everyday too.Except that's not how the Constitution was designed to work. It is a living document, not written in stone.

the Constitution is NOT A STUPID "LIVING DOCUMENT".
It is amendable, if necessary, to INCLUDE rights.
Not to take rights away. This "living document" is code for
"us liberals want it to be rewritten by us, so we can screw all non-liberals over in contempory fashion"

"One said:

No one claimed they aren't working hard...
I also don't think anyone is actually reading what I posted because my suggestion limits the impact of Cali and NY...

There is a process for editing it. We have used it in the past. If the support is there, it should be used in the future.
Acting like a document to govern written 200+ years ago is perfect is idiotic.
-
the Constitution has never had rights taken away.
"editing" can be adding/subtracting.
It can add rights.
-
Where is that rule coming from?
-
38 states need to ratify it. At least 35 will lose their say if they do. I don't think it will happen, ever.
-
It's history. Liberals HATE history. What good is a declaration of permanent RIGHTS and PROTECTION
from TYRANNY,
if a bunch of liberal activists could just take some rights away that they don't like, when they decide
others shouldn't have them (since they never mind their own business)
