If the states electoral votes are supposed to reflect the popular vote, how is it that she is winning the popular vote while still losing the electoral vote? 218 -Hillary Clinton ... 279 -Donald J. Trump (270 to win) 59,079,077 votes (47.6%) 58,941,325 votes (47.5%) I will be very surprised if this is not contested. It is based on the House 435 Seats........The Senate 100 Seats.....and Washington DC. 3 Votes. That is 538. We are not a Democracy, we are a Democratic Republic. In order to get the States to join the Union, there was a proportioned body (House) according to population and a Fixed body (Senate) where each State gets two reps. This is not that hard to figure out. Some states have little population but much land and some states have much population and not so much land. Thus the compromise. Small states didnt want larger population areas dictating to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not live in a simple democracy and most people I know doesn't want to. We like our republic just the way it's set up. Like islam, if that is what people want they should go find one and migrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, I say this same thing about all the people wanting to give away our rights liberties in the name of "safety". There are plenty of countries that offer way fewer freedoms in exchange for the safety of their people. So, instead of ignoring the constitution, why not go find one of them and migrate and leave those of us who believe in and support the constitution here?

That would be a disagreement between us as to what is and is not unreasonable. In my opinion the danger of Islam right now makes it reasonable for some searching. So from my point of view it is not unconstitutional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is always a big bad scary thing to be afraid of, the government makes sure of it. I bet your view will change when those in power decided it is reasonable to use it against all those "hate filled Christians" and their views of things like homosexality. Once you give up these rights to the government, you never get them back. It has been said that what was unthinkable yesterday will become thinkable today and common-place tomorrow (or something along those lines). This is what is happening with our rights and freedoms being taken away one at a time, we are getting used to it and thinking it is normal.

Let's see what happens first, a violent jihad in America or the government going after Christians for "hate speech" in the area of gay marriage and homosexuality. Our own government is a much bigger threat than today's "red scare". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
