What is the ‘ELECTORAL COLLEGE’ ? – Apparently USA elections are not 1-person=1 vote “as advertised”.

Donald Trump lost to Hilary Clinton by over 3 million votes, but the so-called ‘electors’ quickly fixed it.

This time, Joe Biden won by over 6 million votes and they are trying to ‘fix’ that too.

Contrary to what we are told, these ‘electors’ are appointed by state politicians and are not legally bound by the recent election.

Some States (Maine and Nebraska) split their Electoral votes regardless of their voters choice. Others choose their Electors based on the NATIONAL popular vote regardless of their State’s vote.

Fact is that the Republicans can put President Trump back in office. It’s perfectly legal. If/when it happens no-one, not the Senate, the military or anyone else has any legal right or authority to stop it. What might be worse is that future Presidents will know that it can be done.

Win enough State Governorships and you can ‘stack’ the Electors any way you want. As mentioned above, the ‘Popular Vote’ already means nothing, does it?

What is ‘RANKED CHOICE VOTING’? In most elections the candidate with the most votes wins as in Florida and most other states.

For example, in a three person race if A gets 40% and the other two, B and C get 35 and 25%, the winner is A the 40% vote getter.

That seemed fair enough, until I realized that the 40% winner defeated the 60% losers.

Recently Alaska changed to Ranked Choice Voting. The lowest vote-getter is eliminated.

For example, in a 4-person election, voters would mark their first choice candidate on the ballot, with the proviso that says “If my candidate is eliminated (comes in last), then transfer my vote to my second choice AND if/when that candidate is eliminated, transfer my vote to this candidate”

This ensures that the winner has more than 50%, a majority of the voters.

So, who should be elected, the candidate with 40% support under the present system or the candidate with more than 60% support under Ranked Choice Voting?

Another advantage is that it also eliminates runoffs like they are having in Georgia right now.

As I See It, Republicans and Democrats alike want final results on election day, not weeks later.

But a possible problem for Alaska is that primaries will now be open to all voters. That is, candidates can run without ties to either party.

Only the top four vote getters advance to the general election, even if they are all from the same party.

Somehow that doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Ballots could simply ask “Which Democrat do you want to vote for?”

Where are we with a COVID VACCINE? Seems like wild claims of success are rampant, but verifiable facts are few.

The claim of “95% EFFECTIVE” means only that the vaccines stimulate so-called ‘anti-bodies’ in patients.

As I See It, that is not at all the same as proving that a vaccine will prevent infection, which is what ‘vaccination’ means.

Simple questions never asked of the manufacturers include “Have you, your family, your friends and your staff all taken the vaccine?”

Seems to me that if they don’t trust their own product, why should we?

’til next time, , ,
