Electoral College

  • Posted by: Marlymarrr

I hope people realize, that regardless of who they vote for, that candidate might not get their vote. Thanks to the electoral college, regarldless of who wins the popular vote (Al Gore) they won’t neccesarily win the election. California, followed by Texas have the most electoral votes but states like Ohio and Pennsylvania have 20 and 21 electoral college votes respectively, making these states crucial in this election.

But hey, isn’t it comforting that if you vote for one candidate your vote may go to the other?

Good ‘ol U.S of A. Down with the electoral college! It’s time for our votes to really count when they are counted.
