    If not population, what determines the number of EC votes for each state? Tempered???

    The number of electors in each state is equal to the sum of the state's membership in the Senate and House of Representatives, and the number of House reps is based on population.

    As for the original intent:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uni...e#Three-fifths_clause_and_the_role_of_slavery

    "After the initial estimates agreed to in the original Constitution, Congressional and Electoral College reapportionment was made according to a decennial census to reflect population changes, modified by counting three-fifths of persons held as slaves for apportionment of representation."

    Further down the page:

    "Most polls since 1967 have shown that a majority of Americans favor the president and vice president being elected by the nationwide popular vote, instead of by the Electoral College, though polls taken since 2016 have shown an increase in support for keeping the Electoral College."

    The founders had their reasons, but it's become a purely partisan issue and in dire need of reform. It disenfranchises millions of voters.

    Thank you. Was that so hard? And you could easily have left out the snide "NEWS FLASH" part of your reply.

    :no:

    Biden's team has stated they don't even advertise his rare public appearances because they would be overwhelmed by larger numbers of Trump supporters. This does not conjure images of electoral success.

    Hussein the Magnificent --- who tried to talk Biden out of running, then sat silent for an age when Biden actually did run a third time --- reluctantly got out stumping for the Sniffer...and damn near nobody showed up. Now, if The Lightbringer himself can't get the leftists out of their cribs, who can?

    Still 'n' all, it's been fun watching the left suffer the indignity of not getting their way over Amy Coney Barrett. How dare the Pubs do the very thing Hildabeast Clinton would've done, that tight to the election. The nerve!

    And those who don't trust the Post Office or mailbox-style drop boxes.

    A literal example of that. The day I joined the Navy, all hundred of us in my group received mandatory mega-doses of penicillin. The official presumption was we were all syphilitic. I kept trying to tell them I wasn't liberal but they didn't listen.

    Liberals would be just as hateful towards any candidate "not a Democrat." Especially Thomas Sowell, who's to the right of Ghengis.

    Can you provide any links that prove your statements about not advertising appearances and low turnout? Because I looked on his website and there's a menu item for events, and from what I've seen, the drive-in rallies are well attended.

    Just because he isn't risking the lives of his supporters by cramming them into halls and arenas doesn't mean he isn't very busy out there.

    I've never seen an advertisement for a Trump rally, btw. Do you have to go to his campaign website to find those? Have you attended any? Just curious ...

    I saw that comment about not advertising on a conservative blog. You wouldn't accept it anyway. Nor are those lack of cars any problem for the same guy libs ADORED before Biden.

    The enthusiasm for Biden is gone. Hunter's problems are only icing on a bitter bad cake.

    If you watch news, especially local news, you know days in advance. How you get cleared to get in is the more interesting question.

    Looks like you go on his website and register and order up to 2 tickets. Presumably they interview you closely when you show up, hopefully take your temp, and then in you go.

    Anyway, you order tickets from his website. 2 max, then first come first serve.

    Want a laugh? Ask a Chicago Democrat what's been happening with that Obama library. The donations, I mean.

    If that poster would take time to press REPLY and then study his/her/its message posting form, there's a smiley face symbol in that string which leads to many other intriguing ways we have here to mock and set-straight our demented and deficient opponents.

    Doesn't matter. Popular vote does not elect them.

    Biden speaking to ten people at a rally is NOT campaigning. Trump speaking to s few thousand . . . well, THAT . . . is campaigning; especially when Trump does that in state after state. The Left's Big Gun . . . Barack Obama himself? The other day he was talking to about sixty people in total at a rally for Joe Biden. It's not looking good for Joe Biden despite the best propaganda efforts of the corrupt polling companies working for the DNC.

    Looks like your counting skills are lacking with regard to Biden. What a Trump rally proves is that there are people willing to risk their lives to get a glimpse of their cult god. You're right, not a good look.

    Seriously? Biden supporters think that Joe and Kamala are conducting large rallies? Wow! CNN and MSNBC are just openly lying to the Dem Party's voters now without any pretense to doing otherwise.

    I thought Dems told us masks would keep us safe? Or is it masks will keep others safe?

    Too bad enthusiasm for Biden is so low we can't even call them crowds. More like handfuls of bystanders.

    Everyone knows that Barack Obama actually was the living political god of all too many Dem Party voters and the media outlets; and yet even when it is advertised that HE will be speaking at a Biden rally . . . about sixty people showing up on average is the best that he can do? Oh how far the once mighty leftist holy and sacred Anointed One has fallen!

    Biden's events are also available for virtual attendance. Does Trump do that? Or does he simply rely on the fake news media to cover his events?

    As for enthusiasm, keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better. Denial is not just a river in Africa. 80 million people have voted already, an unprecedented number. Do you think the majority of early and mail-in voters are Trump supporters?

    I think you've responded to me by mistake. I said none of those things, and they don't address my post at all. Check your send button. *thumbs up* *big smile*

    Again? Please check before hitting send. I voted for McCain, by the way.
