Who ever said it is a democracy is a liar

@Ferntube123 BTW, I don't see your math. 11 rooms X 51 students = 561 poss votes. Also, under the current system, the people DO count - they determine the # of House of Rep members per State. As for 210 people in 4 rooms ='s 52.5 people per room, not 51 as you said? But there are 5 rooms left (11-6=5), should = 255 people. Regardless of the people left however, if they DON'T VOTE, they have nothing to Bitch about, it was THEM that caused their poss choice to lose, don't fault the voters.

@Ferntube123 ABSOLUTELY FAIR - if you don't vote, you abdicate your choice, you are allowing others to make the choice for you. I say by NOT voting, you also give up the right to bitch about the final choice. Certainly you are NOT saying that it's not fair because only 6 people voted? That was the choice of all 210, 6 chose TO vote, 204 chose NOT to vote + this country is all about choice. The rooms/States also have the right to choose HOW the State residents get to vote (the rules)-also fair.

@mvymvymvy If the vote were as close as it was in 2000,recounts would still be ongoing.The current system is the best.

[Ferntube123]

Right On! We'll say that we were in a school where there are 11 rooms and the person that won 6 or more rooms became the new President of the school. Within each room there are 51 students that can vote. So no tie will happpen. With the current system only rooms are counted and not people. The thing is that if only one person within that room votes for candidate A while the others don't vote then they count for the whole 51. The other 204 in the other 4 rooms lose to just 6 people voting! Fair?

[mvymvymvy]

In 2008, candidates concentrated over 2/3rds of their campaign events and ad money in just 6 states, and 98% in just 15 states. The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states.

Every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in presidential elections. Candidates would need to care about voters across the nation, not just undecided voters in a handful of swing states.
