Gregory's Server@QasimRashid The Electoral College also grades the Republicans on a curve in presidential elections. So much for "one person, one vote."

@michael_w_busch Bush won the popular vote in 2004. The EC wasn't a factor there. I agree with you overall, but it is *possible* for the modern GOP to win by popular vote...just very unlikely.  @kerplunk Bush 43 did win the popular vote in 2004, but only because the Electoral College and voter suppression led to his initial election in 2000. I tried to phrase my earlier post to include that. I guess I did not succeed. @michael_w_busch Fair enough. That's certainly true about 2000. The fact remains, though: under the right circumstances, the GOP can win the popular vote. I think anyone assuming otherwise is making a mistake. |
@Efilroftsul @QasimRashid Here in #Minnesota , the MNGOP has publicly opposed abolishing the Electoral College because they know that without it, no GOP candidate would have been elected POTUS in the last 25 years.
But that simultaneously means that they are saying that their own supporters should have no say in electing POTUS, because Minnesota has not gone for the GOP in any presidential election in last 50 years.
Their racism extends to effectively denying their own supporters a vote.
