    Trump is the one that says he is coming for your guns and thinks this should be a Christian nation vs a nations of many religions

    now dems say they want the people's vote to count and republican say no, people should be able to win the Presidency with less votes than their opponent?

    how about one vote = one vote

    The intent is documented in the Constitution. If you don’t agree with the Constitution amend it. That has happened many times.

    Everyone in the electoral college gets one vote, so... wrong.
    No, it went to Donald Trump. The electors voted Hillary.
    And the people of NY and MT do not vote in the electoral college, so the fact remains:
    People in MT do not vote in NY elections, and vice-versa, so this comparison cannot be soundly drawn.

    The rest of the post is irrelevant - it doesn't mater what -you- think, it only matters if you amend the constitution.

    Well then - we have that now, so there's no need for that unconstitutional agreement and compact between the states.

    The US system of government was deliberately set up so the majority does not always rule.
    That is, this was done on purpose.
    You don't understand why?

    it isn't about majority of people, it's about heavily populated states ruling over lesser populated states... we are a republic, which gives each state a say... without the ec more than half of our states would fall by the wayside...

    Then why do we bother wasting the money for a coast to coast presidential election which doesn't ever elect anyone???Waste of taxpayer money.And while I'm at it why do we vote on antiquated voting machines which are easily hacked and most do not create any kind of paper count backup.We should be voting on modern PC terminals or smart phones connected to a central CPU with a mirror image backup running in tandem in case one goes down and each state should have it's own unique sign on code to facilitate the different polling times across the states.We still vote like a third world banana republic.

    explain how smart phones and pc's can't be hacked...

    while you're at it, explain how we prove who is at the keyboard of those devices during the vote...

    So many mistakes—must have had a public education. Tell you what, pay me a million, I’ll show you the light, in under five seconds, with one sentence, and using only three words.

    You did yourself a disservice by trying to wiggle out of your mistake. Just own up to it. DC isn’t a state, and using it as an example of a STATE that is not fairly represented is, well, wrong. Really wrong. But hey, you do you, admit no mistakes, and pretend you won. I’m sure you’ll love that.

    That’s because it’s not a state. Only states get them.

    They wanted the States to choose the President and they still do.
