    Bottom line, the larger your state, the less your vote counts. That's why Republicans love them some Electoral college. In some states, your vote counts almost three times more than a vote cast in another state.

    - That is, they are doing so DESPITE the efforts of the Banana Republicans at ALL levels of our government, who want to impede and prevent their efforts to vote.
    - And they are doing so DESPITE the efforts of Don-the-Dictator-Wannbe, who ALSO wants to impede and prevent their efforts to vote. And furthermore, he wants to intimidate them at the polls.

    GOD BLESS these voters! They are TRUE Americans.

    And to h•ll with DDW and the BRs! They are NOT true Americans. And they are TRULY low-lifes and human scum.
    What is trumps most dictatorial move thus far. Just one specific thing he has done that has "threatened" this SACRED democracy? Again, be specific.

    Here's something about the electoral college you won't understand but here it is anyway, 2 states shouldn't be allowed to elect a president. Don't like it? Good

    The 'Swing States' decide the Election.

    Yes, but its a matter of representation in the Electoral College. If you live in Montana, you get one elector for every 193,000 residents. If you live in California, one elector represents about 727,000 residents. That means that your votes counts 3.5 times more in Montana than in California.

    Are you trying to convince me that is the Smart way to go?
    What happened to 'One Man, One Vote' ?

    No, just the opposite. I think it's ludicrous that we elect a President that way. It's an archaic remnant of a time when only white landowners could vote. It's stupid. One person in Montana should not have the same impact on the election as 3.5 people in California.

    Sure, you are just on the losing side.

    If your Republican U. S. Representative (or governor or Senator) gets 51% of the votes and his Democratic opponent gets 49% the Republicans win 100% of the representation in that district and the Democrats get 0% although they had almost half the votes.

    Congrats to voters that are voting despite Republican attempts to suppress voter turnout.
    Please leave your Trump 2024 signs in your yard. That way, my dog will know where to take a dump.
