- ELECTORIAL COLLEGE
- By Rick Bennion
- It's a safety net so that EVERYONE's vote counts.
- 1: There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57.
- 2: There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16.
- 3: Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.
- 4: In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country.
- 5: These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.
- 6: 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 who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.
- Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of the country.
- And this is WHY you have an Electoral College.
