  • This is how it works each candidate gives money to the electors and the candidate that gives the most wins. Because you can afford to bribe a an electoral collage but not all the people of the USA.

  • do away with the electoral college .. it makes my vote NOT count.

  • Seems to be a serious problem with this. Candidate A could win in just over half the states by a small margin, but Candidate B won in the minority states by a landslide.

    Technically Candidate B got more votes nation-wide, but lost the election.

  • well, it is easy enough to understand, i just don't think they've got the right tactics and the right people to vote for :/

  • @darksideofearth1 it doesnt, this how bush stoled the election back in 04

  • I guess there are worse systems in place right now on the planet. And I might be overlooking something so simple its in plain sight, but how can this make more sense than just tallying votes by the individual person?

  • The American voiting system is crazy hard.. I'm glad I'm norwegian... It's a biiit easier.

  • If RP doesn't win, I'm moving to a new country.

  • The reason i dont know these things is because I'm not American.... but it would help a great deal if somebody could help!

    .. I'm happy to provide information about the Hungarian electoral system. :P :D
