October 20, 20169 yr It doesn't work. Unless you live in a highly populated state, your vote is basically null and void. Why do you think no candidates come to KY but maybe once. 8 lousy electoral votes. As compared to CA, NY, OH, FL. Unless you win one or more of those states, you have no chance. Trump could win the majority of states and still lose the election if he loses the large population areas. So your assertion that the electoral college does the opposite is false. The states that get the attention are the states that are closely contested. Iowa is not big but has received attention because it is in play. Nevada is getting attention. Without the Electoral College Al Gore would have been president even though he only won about 20 states. That is proof the Electoral College does work.

You can't refute my statement. The reason Nevada is getting attention is due to the Hispanic vote.
October 20, 20169 yr This post is what is so wrong about Donald Trump talking about the elections being rigged. People start to believe that bullcrap. No responsible American leader should ever make statements about elections being rigged when 99.9% of Republican and Democrat leaders and elected officials agree our voting process Is fair and legitimate. America is built on the belief that when you cast your ballot it is counted. Questioning that is questioning the very core of America. Personally I consider this rigging talk right at the top of the list of bad things Trump has promoted during his campaign. This rigging talk is more ego protection for Donald Trump. He has to find a way to excuse losing the election if he loses. He doesn't care how these statements reflect on our country or impact our voting. He only cares about his ego. I thought a lot of our voting process was bull crap long before Donald Trump tossed his name in the ring or brought up the topic. When you don't even have to show identification to prove you are who you are. When dead people race to the polls by the hundreds. When the person who actually receives more votes overall, but doesn't win. Saying that it isn't rigged, or without major flaws, is just inaccurate, in my opinion.

I have complete confidence that our elections are fair and are not rigged. Again, this is the very core of our entire system. Nothing in our system is more important than the sanctity of the ballot box. This is one issue that both parties agree on and value very highly. No one is rigging our elections. Voter fraud is virtually non-existent

Nothing in our system is more important than the sanctity of the ballot box. This is one issue that both parties agree on and value very highly. No one is rigging our elections. Voter fraud is virtually non-existent I'm a believer that the winner is decided long before the votes actually occur and the hidden Power Players/Perception Maniuplators control so much more than we'd ever want to admit. It's not a coincidence that our first women President is running against someone like Donald Trump, with potential sexual assault allegations in his background, or a plethora of off-color comments about women throughout his life time. That was planned and put in place long before we got here. And "they" made sure it happened with all the control they have.
October 20, 20169 yr Also all the spin trying to compare Trump's statements to Al Gore are comparing apples and oranges. Al Gore did concede once the recount was completed. Conducting a recount in a very close race is part of having fair elections in America and there is nothing wrong with a recount. Donald Trump is causing people to question whether they should even vote and that is terrible. Turnout is bad enough in American elections already. We don't need people making up claims about rigging and causing fewer people to vote. There's zero difference. If the election is incredibly close, should Trump automatically concede or is he allowed to ask for a recount? You're interpreting his statement to fit your very narrow agenda.
October 20, 20169 yr She was laughing during a serious issue and serious subject. But she laughed and clapped when she claimed credit for Qaddafi's murder. So its difficult to gauge her mentality on people dying and being murdered. Why do you think she laughed? What was humorous about the murder of people based on their sexual activity? She has issues but ZERO chance she is laughing AT the murders. My guess is it was at what she considers an absurd attack.
October 20, 20169 yr Author How does Trump explains things if he wins? "Not rigged. This the greatest system."
October 20, 20169 yr She has issues but ZERO chance she is laughing AT the murders. My guess is it was at what she considers an absurd attack. Too much faith in Hillary. I'd bet good money she has laughed at less.

October 20, 20169 yr Author I love how many on here spout "founding fathers this and founding fathers" that until their candidate may not get elected. Then let's burn down the house. :lol2:
