Trump still unstumpable

[James_Joyce]

Huh -- I always thought of "aint" as an American thing, specifically a lower class or informal type of American thing. You say you can't imagine Americans using it without it being awkwardly, but that's how I feel about a Brit doing the same.

Swish plz dont destroy my fantasy visions of Brits being more sophisticated than us uncouth savage Americans. BTW how are British women? And by that I mean if I visited England will they give it up to me easily cuz I'm American? God, I love that British accent, only for the women tho sorry [You must be logged in to view images.

They don't have to go to that much trouble. Electronic voting machines cannot be audited.

A scaling system/electoral college is needed to keep plebs interested in the political process, as you can't claim democracy if nobody participates. You would lose legitimacy by default.

If they posted the real percentages every election by Total Vote (popular) without breaking it down by EC districts, or even by State/county, there would be a very big problem.

Instead of a 51-49 or 48-50 or 49-50 victory or loss, you would end up with 20-80, 15-85, and who knows, maybe a few 10-90 elections. Imagine how depressed, angry, and violently rabid this country would be without the EC keeping us all calm, giving everyone hope for next election. "Oh it was a close one boys! We got em next time!" easily becomes "I don't care lol we got smoked. Fuck politics"

Blood would run in the streets after every controversial/emotional Presidential election without the EC. It would change every facet of our society. Horrifying to think of life without the mainstream media spoonfeeding us post-election political opiates in the form of the "EC percent tally".

I think you already have a lot of voters who don't even bother going out to the polls specifically because of this system. If you're a diehard democrat who lives in Utah, your vote already pretty much doesn't count (at least for presidential elections.) If you're a die-hard democrat who lives in NY state, your candidate is already going to win so there isn't much pressure to go to the polls. In the electoral system, certain peoples votes will end up mattering much more than other peoples votes.

I actually think removing the EC could be a big blow to the two party system, as democratic candidates would dominate the presidential elections. The big election would really be the democratic primary, and maybe then we could actually see some ideological splits in the party. It would also force the Republicans to modify their policies to garner support from more people. Political parties should adjust to the needs and wants of the people anyway, not the other way around... which seems an awful lot like how it is now.
