Yes, they’re called citizens. Like every citizen in every state gets one vote that counts equally. Crazy notion around here, I know.

Cool, so mandatory registered voter ID’s for all US citizens to be checked for validity before they get to vote since we wouldn’t someone not a citizen to skew that voting equality. It seriously wouldn’t be right or fair if someone without an voter ID got a vote counted the same as someone following that new voter equality law who had an ID.

Lol bigger voice, but not as big as they actually are. Go ahead big states, you matter a lot but not as much as your population dictates you should.

Every thing you need to know is found in the Preamble.

We are a union of states. The Constitution was written to form a more perfect union. Every individual has a voice within their state. Every state has a voice within the country. We are 50 individual states that form a country. The EC was designed to insure that each state had a voice, to insure domestic tranquility. Why would any state enter that union only to be ruled by the larger states? The FFs had to find the most fair way to insure each state had a voice within that union. Their solution was the EC, and it's worked pretty damn good. Only 5 times has the winner of the popular vote not won the EC. Five times in over two centuries. The system works just fine.

Their vote does count equally within the state they vote in.

It took us 150 years to give women the right the vote... forgive my skepticism that small population states will willingly give up their undeserved disproportionate influence on presidential elections.

The old “It’s too hard to change so I’ll just bitch” excuse. If it’s that important to you do something about it.

Oh and we screwed up giving women the right to vote. Let’s not make two gargantuan mistakes.

I am actually in favor of mandatory military service for both men and women like other countries do . I know why they do it , out of sheer necessity and to always be prepared for the next invasion of their country . I just always thought it would give our young kids a different view of things and help them appreciate what they have in this country more . I may have authoritarian tendencies . That being said , if it was government mandated, I’d probably be screeching against it . I’m going to go over in the corner and try to sort that all out now . 😂

This makes no sense.

Which part are you having trouble with? I suspect that, at some point before election season heats up or early in it, Biden will drop out of the race (probably citing health issues), and someone else will be stood up as the democratic candidate. It's all valid English, and decent sentence structure. I don't know what you're struggling with.

You had a better case before he lost Michigan by 250,000 votes.

They didn’t screw him in Michigan, it was already a forgone conclusion by then . The weekend before Super Tuesday was when the big guns of the machine got involved . ( IMO)

None of that has anything to do with the issue at hand. Stop distracting from the fact that we conduct every election one way, and then we conduct just one election a completely different way. Tell me why that makes sense, stop hiding behind what someone else wrote about 250 years ago.

Because every freaking right you possess today originates out of that Constitution. I know you ungrateful hacks on the left hate the Constitution. And listen Nancy if you don't like it tough 💩. You can try to change it through the process that is set up or you can move. Simple as that. Stop whining about the process and change it.

Only 5 times you say? What if I told you we could cut that number down to zero?
