    It's funny because Democrats complain that voter ID is racist. What if entire states full of people are tossed aside because their votes are essentially useless?

    The majority of Americans still voted for Hillary and she lost.
    This is America to you?

    We have a Republic, not a Democracy. In the case of a Presidential Election, the Republic is the 50 states, not the people; though the people of each state do have the right to vote for who their Representatives (Electoral College Electors) will be.

    You should be happy you live in a Republic, because it is the Republic that protects your individual rights, not a Democracy. Over the last decade, it is not our Democracy that has been under attack, but our Republic. And today we should all be thankful that it was our Republic that saved us from further tyranny being inflicted upon us by the progressive left.

    No. The electoral college is a political tool to give a political party an advantage over another political party.

    You are voiding the voice of the majority of Americans.
    There is no democracy in this country and the majority of Americans need not be heard

    OP is a troll and is in complete and total troll mode because Hillary, the candidate he didn't vote for, lost the election.

    That's right.Because you don't want a country where a Majority can rule.
    What if the KKK became a majority in this land.Or if we had a Majority of
    teachers.Or maybe Cops.A Majority needs to be specialized.
    You would tend towards Mob rule if a simple majority had all the power.

    She should have won more states. Instead, she lost them. It's not Trump's fault Hillary's too crappy to win easy states.

    To the showers with what ifs.
    Twice in 18 years the majority of Americans have spoken and their voices have been voided.
    What a country

    Not true. First - the final count isn't over.
    Second - as Battle 3 points out there were 2 other candidates whose combined total was about 4 to 5 %, so the majority did not vote for her. Hopefully she'll get a unanimous vote from a jury.

    we are a union of STATES, not a federalized group of people.

    nope, they all voted for a candidate their state would elect.

    Good point. But the votes of the third party candidates are not factored into the votes she did receive, which outnumbered Trump.

    Again, their voices and votes are voided
    Only in America

    Go personal much?

    The Country already has an Election Process and Election laws in place.
    You don't want a place like Los Angeles taking over for places much smaller but
    far more reaching.It'd be like deciding an NFL team can have as many players as they
    can afford to suit up.That would be unfair to other less well off franchises.
    There has to be some form of uniform ground rules.
    You don't hear the GOP squawking about how many Electoral Votes California
    has been awarded.I think maybe the GOP under Donald Trump should change that.
    Take away a lot of Californias electoral votes.It's unfair.Not uniform.

    Correct they did. And those voices who voted for Hillary, which were more than the voices who voted for Trump, were voided

    Only in America!

    I'd suggest moving to North Korea or some other nation with a superior electoral process.

    Since we are even with their process, which entails those who get the most votes don't win, there is no advantage to moving there

    Thanks

    I'm not getting how a vote cast in one state, not equal to one cast in another state, can be good for democracy. I thought that was clear.

    Here's the best part... Clinton's theme song, as sung by Katy Perry (who obviously didn't bring out the vote for Hillary, LULZ)

    I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
    Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
    So I sat quietly, agreed politely
    I guess that I forgot I had a choice
    I let you push me past the breaking point
    I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
    You held me down, but I got up (hey!)
    Already brushing off the dust
    You hear my voice, your hear that sound
    Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
    You held me down, but I got up
    Get ready 'cause I've had enough
    I see it all, I see it now
    I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter
    Dancing through the fire
    'Cause I am the champion, and you're gonna hear me roar
    Louder, louder than a lion
    'Cause I am a champion, and you're gonna hear me roar!


    Let's hear ya, Hillary! All I've ever heard from you is screeching and cackling.
