Popular vote, maybe, but "the person who gets the most votes wins" is considered undemocratic here, so I reckon he's still got it in the bag
A poll

I live in the UK and voted by post.
I filled in the online form when I recently move to a new flat. Updated my details on the electoral register and said that in the event of any elections, I would like a postal ballot.
The next day an election was called. I received my ballot in the post shortly thereafter. Filled it in. Popped it in the post. Job done. No ID provided.
It's odd, because I thought Republicans were the ones who believed in a meritocracy (unlike those Commie Democrats).
No participation trophies for that lot. 1st place is first place. Etc, etc.
And as always, its because they don't believe the lies they tell.
Meritocracy and the electoral college have no connection. The electoral college is about fairness
Damn, that's kind of stupid
How is EC fair when it makes the entire election dependant on just a handful of states?
Any state can be a swing state and help decide the election every state doed matter, but those matter more because of their transitory nature
you misspelt shitstorm
No it's not.
I mean, explain what's fair about the loser being given first place?
The loser isn't given first place. The winner is given first place.
Trump will take the Electoral College.
With everything that’s going on in this country right now a far-left candidate will not win. Harris can try and flip on the issues in a desperate attempt to win, but the videos of her parroting her Communist-like policies and her record in California, not to mention the last almost four years as vice president, tell a much different story. People know Trump already. He may not the everyone’s first choice but he’s most definitely the best choice in this election.
Trump will take the electoral votes and therefore keep America safer, stronger and freer.
LOL. You dumb MAGA morons do talk a load of old shit.
Old shit.....
That's trump
You're the one that thinks the electoral college chooses the person who doesn't win as president, lol
Correct, you can get less votes and still win.
Less votes doesn't mean you lost, lol. This isn't a direct democracy
Yes, it's a system designed to allow losers to win.
Facts.
Edit: Another reason why we don't live in a so called democracy
No, it's a system designed to allow winners to win. Otherwise the winner wouldn't win
We do live in a democracy, just not a direct democracy
