I'll reiterate a position I've always held. That's BS. -- nm - Ender Nov 8, 19:35
are the EC votes divided up by population -- nm - Karl_S Nov 8, 19:22 6
- no, its winner take all. So candidate A can lose a big state 50.1 to 49.9 and win a smaller 73 to 27 and thus lose even though they were ahead - crash davis Nov 8, 19:24
- Related to, but not the be-all and end-all -- nm - Roger More Nov 8, 19:24
- It's winner take all per state based on how many Reps and Senators they have - Will Hunting Nov 8, 19:24
- sort of - each state gets 2 plus its number of seats in Congress - Reagen Nov 8, 19:24 1
  - So, house and Senate combined -- nm - zork Nov 8, 19:28
- Only in that they follow House and Senate allocations. Senate isn't population based. -- nm - TWuG Nov 8, 19:23
Will she even win that? -- nm - Inigo Nov 8, 19:20 5
- That's beside the point. Everybody's vote would count. -- nm - Mara Nov 8, 19:54
- the NYT thing ppl keep referencing has her winning that -- nm - crash davis Nov 8, 19:21 3
  - 20 minutes ago CNN showed him up by a million -- nm - zork Nov 8, 19:25 1
    - The most populous state in the nation has yet to be heard from -- nm - crash davis Nov 8, 19:26
  - but, even if she loses that, I will still hold that opinion -- nm - crash davis Nov 8, 19:23
