WHO THOUGHT THAT GIVING THIS NIGNOGER STATE 55 ELECTORATES IS A GOOD IDEA

WHO THOUGHT THAT GIVING THIS NIGNOGER STATE 55 ELECTORATES IS A GOOD IDEA
LITERALLY,WHO?

It's by population and California has 10 million more people than the next highest, Texas.

>state has high population
>gets more say in who runs the country

sounds socialist to me

1 out of 8 people in the usa live in california

When you stuff the country with illegal immigrants and cordon off half of mexico to it, yes. You'll get that.

Don't blame the population size. Blame the fact that California is a winner-take-all state which is fucking retarded given its sheer size.

The electoral vote totals for states rise and fall all the time.

There are only two states in the Union that aren't winner-take-all, Nebraska and Maine [though I don't think they split very often, if ever].

The electoral college actually gives California less votes per person than smaller states.

If electoral votes were purely proportional to population, then instead of California getting 55 votes and Wyoming getting 3, California would get 66 votes and Wyoming would get one.

It's alright, when the Great Earthquake hits and rattles that shit state off of our continental shelf, into the ocean's murky embrace, then they will have 0 electoral votes. Here's to hoping that the big some time soon - preferably before the election.

Nebraska split in 2008, with its most urban district going to Obama and the rest of the state going to McCain. This year, Trump is targeting Maine's rural district, and has a pretty good chance if the polls are to be believed. Clinton is also targeting Nebraska's most urban district.

It's based off population you dunse

it's not about "gave" you fuckstick

They must feel the race is super tight if they are bothering to angle for one vote.

Is it true that illegals are counted in population counts?

Illegals are counted as part of the population.

That's one thing I don't like about it.

Convince the Bernie Bros to write in Bernie Sanders.

Technically illegals shouldn't be counted as part of the census

Kind of a desperate issue

Yes. Allocation of electoral votes are based on census data. Census data includes illegals.

>Persons counted in the census include citizens, legal immigrants, non-citizen long-term visitors and illegal (or undocumented) immigrants.

>dunse

Old califag here.

It's only the gaybay and Hollyweird that is solid blue. Once you leave there it's Trump signs as far as the eye can see!!!

Shadilay! Shadilay, my brothers!

That's fucking stupid. Would this mean that if Trump gets elected and deports the illegals, California would lose electoral votes in 2020?

There's a good reason for that. WI, despite all that fucking land, is expensive anywhere worth going. The capital city has 55,000 people but houses within 30 miles of it are still 200k-500k. Anyone who's looked at other middle-of-nowhere real estate knows that's 5x what it should be.

California thread? California thread.

I love In-n-out.

need an accurate population count. a good number of them are too paranoid to do the census anyways

The idea of Nebraska and Maine tipping the election isn't entirely unreasonable. Consider this map, for instance.

The better question is, who thought that cramming 30 million of the most retarded, vain, godless faggots this country has to offer into one state was a good idea?

323 wassup

yeah but nobody cares about those places.

Madison has a lot more than 55000 buddy, the campus alone is like 40000. And yes houses are expensive as hell here.

The funny thing is that Californians are the people whose vote are worth the least (if you vote for the losing side)
Only the votes in swing states matter.
If you're a republican living in California it'd be better to move to a swing state where your vote might actually matter

>He doesn't understand what a senator is

Yeah the electoral votes would be reallocated. They'd lose some votes for sure.

>census guy doesn't report the illegals he finds

We could get rid of our immigrant problem every 10 years. Too bad the next one will be over the internet.

The electoral college is done by number of congressional districts for the house, plus two for senate seats, everyone saying its by population has no idea of what they are talking about.

Yeah, I know it's possible. Leave no stone unturned. I just think it's more likely that something bigger, likely out west or in the Midwest, breaks for one of the candidates and that sews it up.

Of course I understand what a senator is. Each of your states gets two of them, you elect them for 6 year terms and they're elected one at a time, so every six years (three election cycles), you don't vote for a senator.

I also get that the EC gets its numbers from the fact that each state gets one EC vote for each of its federal representatives (anywhere between 1 and 53) and each of its senators (always 2).

All I'm saying is that, if the EC used raw population proportionality instead of using federal elected member numbers, then instead of being 55 to 3 for California-to-Wyoming, it would be 66 to 1 (since California has 66 and a bit times as many people as Wyoming).

scv here

650 here

My bad broseph. I meant WY, replied to the user talking about Wyoming.

Wyoming is a "middle of nowhere" prairie and mountain state, it's supposed to be cheap land with 5,000 person towns like Montanna and pre-2005 Colorado. For some reason it's not cheap at all except in 200 person towns with no reception and utilities issues.

Electoral system is a crock. We need a system that gives all states, big & small equal vote. How about each state has 10 points. First candidate to 260pts wins.

Please note: in order to reach the 10000000 mark by election day, roughly 4400000 posts need to be made over the next 7 days. this is about 628572 a day, or 26190 posts an hour.

apparently this board gets an average of 7000 posters throughout the day. this means every man, woman and underage faggot must make at least 4 posts an hour in order for us to hit our target by election day. this is easily achievable.

if you want to sleep, get your shitposts in earlier. you will need to hit roughly 96 posts a day, although obviously more is preferable.

godspeed lads. regardless of who you're voting for, your board needs you

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT STATE THAT IS
