REASON FOR AN ELECTORAL COLLEGE
This is absolute and this is why there is an electoral college.
Without it only 5 major cities could be calling ALL the shots...
1. There are 3,141 counties in the United State
a. Trump won 3,084 of them... Clinton won 57.
2. There are 62 counties in New York State.
a. Trump won 46 of them... Clinton won 16.
3. Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 2.1 million votes.
New York City; Five counties encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens)
· Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump.
· Clinton won 4 of these counties, Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, & Queens
· Trump won only 1 county, Richmond.
Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
· These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.
· The United States is comprised of 3, 797,000 square miles.
When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those that encompass a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
