electoral college and fairness...

There is no fairness argument. There is only the a deal is a deal argument. That deal was the best democracy could make at the time and so we are stuck with it until a longer view intelligence predominates by about 75 percent. That won't happen before an asteroid kills us, so we need to just deal.

What's more fair than one voter, one vote?

How does giving one voter a more than 3:1 advantage over an ostensibly equal citizen make the system more fair?
“It’s not just whether your vote counts, but whether your vote counts equally. An electoral college vote in Wyoming was worth 71,000 voters. In Florida one electoral college vote was worth 238,000 voters. ... that not only violates one person, one vote; but also violates the principle of democracy ... “ law professor Lani Guinier

I think we need to go back to September posts on JPP when Trump was leading in the polls. Every JPP liberal squealed that it was the Electoral College that mattered. In fact I even remember one leftardiot (Thingy or GayRod) saying "Trump could win the popular vote and lose the Electoral College".

They were all about the Electoral College until of course they aren't about the Electoral College. This is why they should all be lynched for treason. Starting with blackasshole

I bet it was Thingy. It fits his MO.

Nope.

And to ILA, Trump was leading in the polls for about 2 weeks after his convention. For the most part, it was those on the Trump side who talked about the election being illegitimate - no matter what happened.
 
I think what people DO forget is that their hero called the EC into question when Obama won in '12. He said (mistakenly) that Romney won the popular vote, that the EC was a disaster, and that we should have a revolution.

But, memories can be very inconvenient.

How many redistricting cases end up in court? See, this is what your kind always gloss over. Parties don't ultimately redistrict, federal courts do.

NO. That is ABSOLUTELY false.

Courts do NOT redistrict.

The most a court could possibly do is to declare district lines as being illegal or unconstitutional in some way.

In that case, it goes back to the state to modify the lines.
