@madadivad1986 Yes, I know, and I agree that we should stop using the electoral college, but that has nothing to do with gerrymandering.
-
@macarion I'm talking about how silly the electoral college system currently is and how that it basically makes 10 states more important than the rest in national elections. Did you know that 4 times in American history the winner of a Presidential election was NOT the person who won the majority of the popular vote?
-
@madadivad1986 The majority wins what? There's not just one election. Each state has a certain number of congressmen, and within each state there are legislatures. That's why districts exist. What exactly are you proposing?
-
Why do we need districts in the first place? It's not like the votes have to be collected and carried by horse anymore. Why not just combine all the votes and the majority wins?
-
@CGPGrey Awesome, I have friends that currently run cross country for Geneseo.
-
@Nightyyou Why does that matter?
