Let’s keep the Electoral College

USA officials say in the two weeks since the election, the president-elect has attended far fewer briefings than his predecessors. The victorious Bush, however, carried 30 states to 20 from Gore and won the Electoral College by five votes. Then we will focus on raising funds for Michigan’s recount (due Wednesday).

Do you support the Electoral College system for electing our president, or would you prefer switching to popular vote? As hard as it may be for Clinton supporters to accept, there are thoughtful, reasonable people who do not share liberal positions on gun control, health care or how much of their wealth belongs to government.

Regardless of our personal preference, Trump is going to be the next president.

“I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election – if I win”, President-elect Trump to supporters at a OH rally in October.

The Electoral College also makes sure that presidential candidates don’t spend all their time in the most populated areas of the country.

The margin of victory was out of more than 4.79 million votes cast in the race for president.

Clinton now has 50.83% of the nationwide two-party vote, a drop of only 1.14% from Barack Obama’s total in 2012. She raised almost $5 million, with the goal of $7 million. According to media, the states where the Democratic candidate might consider the demanding of a recount are three.
