No One Votes for President - We Vote for Electors


The only vote we have for President is the vote for electors. The electors elect the President in December, so the term "popular vote" is deceptive, as if it is unfair if the total votes do not match the results of the Electoral College.

The Electoral College makes small population states - like Maine and New Mexico - important. Based on population alone, a few densely populated cities would elect the President each time.

I expect the election to be a done deal by midnight on Tuesday. I predict 47 states for Trump, though cheating could change that number. The House and Senate will have fewer Democrats due to the coattails effect. Burning down central business districts did not increase votes for the Left.
