@dajosh42069 Don't be such a hater. If the national vote count is what decided presidential elections and Washington policy, every vote would be different. There would be no us-or-them anymore, as every issue comes up. That's if you see every American as being born with the same rights.

Are you referring to Al Gore losing to George W. Bush and the Electoral College?

As you know, voting is very difficult in America. It's one thing to be a member of a political party, it's another to be a registered voter as voting for only one party. Wow, that leaves out voting for anyone who is saying what you want to hear.

The Electoral College was created so Northerners could guarantee no Southerner could become president. At first College representatives didn't have to hand in the name of the person who won the election. They could hand in any name for the position. Later on a law was passed to stop that. Everything else kept going, back then the blue and the grey, now the blue and the red. It was used to put the last two Republicans into office, denying the popular vote. It's proof the United States isn't a democracy, it's the American Empire.

You don't get to take over the Republican Party as a political outsider without fronting for the Bush family. The last Bush didn't win the election, the Electoral College put him in, same with Trump.
