was the everybody this is kind of
reactor sales to be talking about the
electoral college today data feel that
there is of better system in place with
the alternate pool as scripting
suggested earlier
in regards to the all electoral college
one of the main things that i see is
that the disproportionately gives
rickles to places
i don't need them if you look at the
electoral college system right here
you'll see that california is actually
innocent envelopes
the number of the final numbers for the
electoral college credit but nothing
else
encounters and
how are you getting the electoral
college hill or numbers
need based in dubai five hundred
thirty-eight best in the regulators that
we have into the population of the state
and you get number of electoral votes
that he should have
never make allstate's people
in relation to for them
however this does not happen instead
what the rules of our electoral college
do
is via every state
three votes to begin with
before it has a en route
there's also
is a bone of contention because
washington d_c_ is in virginia
and with that being said because the
last thing the seat
our capital
being able to vote
we have lost
we have to
you know managed to give him picture in
low-income
whereas the department is live in the
state of virginia good deaths something
totally different
to go on
another problem with the little college
we had at least for four million people
their living in
wary carl or
the cd american territories
dad do that men are not recognized by
electoral college system
unless they have a specific
constitutional amendment
they don't get over right to vote cell
this is four point four million
aircon second
um... change
the course of an election
and they unfortunately not
we have another six point
six
young people that live overseas
and with that number
means and they seem concept is they just
sent a letter to her
really need to go
and a when they send that letter
next to that lasted residents so it's
okay to play aryan
passing is we allow space name
civ uh... astronauts
we allows astronauts to vote but we
don't allow people
their testing
you know four different territories
temple the question is
the theoretical college
actually even though it
disproportionately give states
smaller
saulo voting power are bigger voting
power
does that matter in the electoral
act in the uh...
campaign or anywhere else now at this
point you look at jennifer graham homes
were burned for how five seconds
waiting to hear you're going to hear
about
david dredging activity in our all
hangout in a row conserving
you don't hear about florida
tourists and states
but you never hear about the other
grounds with the electoral college and
that is a problem that we have crimea
this summer
you don't hear about horses to the
detriment of the rest of the united
states
danette cases where on the or obama is
funny campaign
they had me returns
california is very starkly
democrat texas
is very starkly recovered
that's just how envelope in central or
and that's why the plane stanley v
uh... t_j_
damaging a case was actually try and
make and that was coming or
more to the story and more to the this
issue here
way is going to be happening in the
future
in regards to this farewell i can
probably tell you all go home quietly
this election is gonna be a hard copy to
me again
is ready to the detriment of all of us
because the system in place
actually makes are trusses
very very very
indecisive and interfere worked
so which has been done have a territory
and action
five through
this two-party system that we have in
place
where
the state infection where to go on
with florida for example always florida
it means everything
in florida
he lives for all of the twenty seven
twenty nine votes within four
if you look at california within being
where take all it takes all all-party
talks to decide
irfan pro-vote that's why he probably
will cv on
care about their own he won't care about
main he won't care how it's
all of the smallest staged a and l whole
heavily democratic as on these new is
we're
if he can swim
the fact is
what both electors as well as
the states
on ritalin
is long on the electors themselves
the engane
is thirty eight pm electors to want to
vote for you came
west commonweal bomb is going to be
focusing on next
because happily at least forty percent
of the lectures
don't happen while what what do you know
the state
recommends at all
so
uh... i might begin that cookies with
primaries and caucuses but
he seat
the issue here it is a very complex
system
another problem here it is the fact that
she can win with only twenty percent of
all
the popular world
and that is that we have with the into
towns from there at least for other
problems such as andrew jackson actually
want
and he didn't get to the probable in
eighteen seventy six
i think another
issue electric
elections
end forty nine
mainly on fire
black as you can see is basically
a system that has a five percent
celebrated
this is probably for the most important
position
in the united states
who is going to be a president
if you have a five percent chance of
failure
epic in your presence
wouldn't you want to have a better
system
of course
how advocate for the alternative local
dal advocate for even humble is current
one time
but the same way
we need a better system
bad situation has come it is now
we need better systems of governance in
the electoral college is probably
at the center andrew
of what is
nowhere as problems american
there's something else on the one hand
people since a think tank dramatically
if you are grayscale
capel eighteen that's for college
somehow
is going to make the big states
alluded more powerful
you have to look at the top ten
but it's a even the top one hundred
cities
now in new york city has maybe eight
million people in
now how much of the heck is
divide eight million people into three
hundred ninety million
in the united states
how many people is that that's just two
percent of the population
people is friend all over again even if
you worked at the top one hundred states
cities
that's right
what's happened in cities in the united
states
you would basically have
elite whether the samples of all
soul
this notion that people can decide who
they want the president
i don't think it
actually matters
i do know bed with the electoral college
he did hannah
it does have a pretty dark past and
maybe i can get into that later on
by it
for determining
if we really need to leave watching
we change it and that will rip we have
led to a record
was set up a probable or national career
is terrible
something that makes a lot more since
unit or college
care incident
