The Electoral College Method of Selecting Our President Is Still a Mystery to Many of Us
How it works!
Each state is allocated ‘Electors’ (persons who actually cast the final vote for president), one for each congressional district and one for each senator. Most of the states mandate that the party that wins the popular vote within their state is allocated the right to select the person to so vote. Thus, the party then allocates the right to the party’s nominee for each congressional district, whether they win or lose. So, when I, as nominee for my party lost the general election, I was entitled to select the person to vote for president.
Most states follow this methodology. So why does the election boil down to what is called “the battleground states”? Each party estimates the outcome of each state. For example, California may poll at 60% Democratic while Texas may poll at 60% Republican. As each state is evaluated, the emphasis becomes the last few states that will push the candidate over the number of 270. In recent years, these states were Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Virginia. This year, Michigan and Wisconsin came into play.
As result, minimal campaigning is done outside the battleground states. Will it change? If so, how?
The National Popular Vote coalition consists of states that have already agreed to cast the states electoral votes for the winner of the popular vote, not the winner of the state’s vote. This agreement takes effect once there are states totaling 270 have come on board. Eleven states with a total of 165 electoral votes are now committed to doing so. Another twelve states have partial approval within their legislative branches.
If another state having 105 electoral votes come on board, the game will change and the convoluted electoral college will become obsolete.
This is good news for free thinking secular Americans who lectorial votes have been held hostage by the religious fantastic who want their theocracy on our democracy. As George Washington sign into law America is not a Christian nation and Google (10 reasons why the Bible is repulsive) George Washington didn’t put his head on King James book to make an oath to the inquisition of Europe. The ex Jehovah Witness Eisenhower added one Nation Under god into MY pledge of Allegiance which is against the law. Can you imagine that the religious Fanatics still want to promote that the Flat Earth is only 6000 years old and the sun was made on the 3rd day. Dear Prophet Chicken Little and Staint Pinocchio as a Native American I do not want my children to be force to worship a dead foreign 33 year old Middle Eastern kid as our new elected god who’s not even American. As a credible Native American I refuse to take your Faith Base snake oil health insurance. As a Independent and Secular Republican this is how I feel about the religious Republic administration’s that was elected by lectorial vote and not by the popular vote. On July 4th I’ve put a restraining order on this foreign make believe god loophole to keep it out of our proud secular government. First I am a American born with the freedom of choice to choose any religion or no religion unlike the vice-president under Donald Trump. Religion is real fake news. As a free thinking American I stand above your make believe Neanderthal Ape god that created billions and billions of galaxies and universes with a magic screwdriver. in the Old Testament it states if I don’t believe in god I will be attacked by unicorns with gnashing teeth. I hope I’m protected by the law from this make believe God loophole that I do not trust. Google ( 10 Reasons why the Bible is Repulsive) This is why we need to get rid of the electoral votes that is being held hostage by religious Fanatics against the free will of free thinking Americans. Look what happened to Iran when it was taken over by religious Fanatics, will America be next?
Sorry for the typos I am typing on a small screen on my smart phone. This is good news for free thinking secular Americans who lectorial votes have been held hostage by the religious fantastic who want their theocracy on our democracy. As George Washington sign into law America is not a Christian nation and Google (10 reasons why the Bible is repulsive). The Freemason George Washington did not put his hand on King James book to make an oath to the Church of England or to inquisition of Europe. The ex Jehovah Witness Eisenhower added one Nation Under god into MY pledge of Allegiance which is against the law. Can you imagine that the religious Fanatics still want to promote that the Flat Earth is only 6000 years old and the sun was made on the 3rd day and a snake speak Hebrew. Dear Prophet Chicken Little and Staint Pinocchio as a Native American I do not want my children to be force to worship a dead foreign 33 year old Middle Eastern kid as our new elected god who’s not even American. As a credible Native American I refuse to take your Faith Base snake oil health insurance for the working poor. As a Independent and as a Secular Republican, this is how I feel about the Religious Republic administration’s that was elected by lectorial vote and not by the popular vote. On July 4th Americans should file a restraining order on this foreign make believe god loophole to keep it out of our proud secular government. First I am a American who is born with the freedom to choose any religion or no religion, unlike Donald Trump’s vice-president who stated his allegiance is to a foreign Middle Eastern god and then America. Religion is todays real fake news. As a free thinking American I stand above your make believe Neanderthal human ape god that takes the credit for creating billions and trillians of galaxies and universes with a magic screwdriver. In the Old Testament it states if I don’t believe in god you will be attacked by Unicorns with gnashing teeth. I hope that I am protected by the law from this make believe godod loophole that I do not trust. Again I ask you to Google ( 10 Reasons why the Bible is Repulsive) so you can see the conflict with todays laws; this is why we need to get rid of the electoral votes that is being held hostage by religious Fanatics against the free will of free thinking Americans. Look what happened to Iran’s secular government when it was taken over by religious Fanatics, will America be next?
