Guys, until the United STATES becomes the United STATE (singular)...it is still a union of fifty states.
If our society were to decide that we wanted to make it a "popular vote" to win...then it would still be state by state. And Trump would still have won.
What crockett is suggesting is a popular vote that counts as one big vote. But that's never been the way our country was set up.
I'm thinking it would require a re-write of the constitution.
And as some have said...it would pretty much render everyone's vote in the country not living in N.Y., Florida, Texas, and California meaningless.
If a popular vote were to be done as one big lump of vote nationwide, you could argue that people in the vast majority of states would not be represented in that vote.
I know everyone wants to attack everyone else on here...I don't want to get involved in that today. Just wanted to point out the facts as they have always been.
IF you went by poplular vote...it would be state by state. Trump would win the most states. And he would win the Presidency.
Trump won 30 states to Clinton's 20 states.
As I said, the only alternative would be to change the constitution.
And since Hillary's popular vote margin came entirely from California...I can't see people living in the rest of the country EVER going for that.
