President Trump should negotiate a big-and-beautiful deal with Mexico wherein they're allowed to annex southern California in exchange for paying for the border wall and a promise to provide border security to help keep their citizens from entering the U.S. illegally. Also Mexico's full support for the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is reaffirmed.

It gives 2 free EC votes to each state. Leaving 436 votes only up to population.
Tyler Rogers
>implying that dead people and illegal aliens are "sensible voters" kys
Asher Jackson
That's because the Constitution gives two U.S. Senators to every state.
California has 53 House members and two Senators = 55 electoral votes
Wyoming has one House member and two Senators = three electoral votes
David Morris
Ofc a faggot leaf. You're So Progressive i bet you molest children.
Joseph Cruz
The margin in California was only this large because California didn't have a Republican candidate for Senate in this cycle.
The presidential election doesn't energize republican voters in this shithole because the state automatically goes to democrats. Senate elections energize the party voters more.
Adrian Carter
>true genius of the Electoral College — which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections. Nope, it was designed to prevent a populist demagogue (like Trump) from rising to power, by placing the power to elect beyond the reach of the people. The founding fathers didn't intend for there to be a popular vote at all, The first nine elections, there was no popular vote in most states.

Leo Murphy
>it was designed to prevent a populist demagogue But that's wrong, you retard
Cooper Cox
I would rather be a Cletus than a numale desu.
My point was that essentially, every problem we have, especially in Europe came from abandoning our traditional outlook on society. It destroyed the structure of what made these places great. Plus, the antisocial tendencies contemporary urban living enables with unchecked pluralism and no real social trust. Pls read some Evola if you get a chance. If you've ever taken an interest in Nietzschean philosophy or why the """alt-right""" is the way it is, you can see a lot of the blueprints in his work.
It is a truth that there are more latinos than whites in Cali
Oliver King
Wow, that makes it even funnier that you got BTFO this hard and that Trump will be president.
Aiden Perry
Yep. You know those excess popular votes included at least a couple of million illegals and "temporary resident" Mexicans. There's no question. If you live here, you see it all the time and you know it's just the bitter truth.
Rid this state of all of those people and we would still be blue, but it would be a fuck of a lot more evenly matched given how many indies we have. Look at some of our red votes, like the defense of marriage act. Illegals didn't care about that so they didn't vote, and liberals lost.
DEPORT THE FUCKING ILLEGALS, TRUMP!!! MAKE CALI GREAT AGAIN!!
Julian Peterson
Berkeley Trump supporter here. ;>)
Angel Gray
This. The Senate race being two Democrats gave Democrats a big motivation to turn out, and Republican voters none. Also, the California marijuana referendum turned out younger voters, which apparently drives their participation more than any House, Senate, gubernatorial or presidential race.
In the end, it doesn't matter. Running up the score in California never has, nor ever should, make one President.
Anthony Sanders

MEME IT
Michael King
What exactly are you trying to tell me?
I stand by my statement the EC doesn't "prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections" Even if states only got votes based on population the breakdown would be almost identical less tiny states being over represented. Then again, no one cares about non swing states anyway.
The real reform comes when the EC in each state goes by proportion of the vote in the state. Then the more or less half of the nation that currently doesn't get a say would get a say.
The EC is fine, winner take all is fucking retarded.
Owen Mitchell
Ayyy let's have MexicoTown decide the election now.

Luke Adams
>it's Official I know that for weeks if not months.
William Smith
The EC was made to close the communication loop because at the time it wasn't possible to communicate over land in a timely manner.
So you would select an elector who would travel to Washington and hear the debates and then make an informed vote on your behalf.
This nonsense about not allowing a population vote is almost as retarded as claiming the US isn't a democracy because it's a republic and that the only type of government a democracy can be is direct democracy.
Oh and that stuff about people directly voting on laws with the proposition system? Just ignore that. Totally not direct democracy.
The 1960s did more damage to the US with it's insane rhetoric against communism than any number of crack addicted niggers ever did.
Luis Parker

Parker Gray
Hey, I'd be in full support of electoral college reform, where you win one electoral vote by congressional district, and the statewide winner gets the two electoral votes.
Problem is, Democrats wouldn't. Because the GOP controls 33/50 state legislatures, and draws the district lines.
Also, could you imagine 538, RCP, etc. trying to do an electoral map by congressional district? And how unbelievably lousy the polls and polling spin would be?

Why do it by district?
Just do it by state. Then divide up the votes. So if CA was 55 votes and it was 42% 45% 7% 5% (left over 1%)
It would be
23 25 4 3
Or some other factored rounding outcome.

there's diminishing returns on population size and electoral votes a state gets, meaning that although the larger a state is the more votes it gets it will get more votes at a slower and slower rate >Wyoming: 584k people, 1 additional vote >California: 38,802k people, 53 additional votes >1/548k=1.7E-6 votes per person >53/38,802k=1.4E-6 votes per person You'd need another 732k people to get another vote in CA but only another 584k in Wyoming Individual large states will still get the most say but because smaller states have a technical advantage AND there's so many more of them compared to the larger states they have roughly equivalent power overall nationwide
