...as was the case with G.W. Bush who lost the popular vote to Al Gore by over 500,000 votes, but still won the presidency....and to TSG who said, "Well, if Obama had lost it, you wouldn't have heard the end of it,..."....the dems and leftist news outlets screamed bloody murder when Bush lost it, but was still elected POTUS.
Oh come now, people always scream and whine when things don't go their way. Tantrums are loverly events to witness.
Quote:"meaningless? Well, if Obama had lost it, you wouldn't have heard the end of it, it would've been all over Fokkks news,..."...either you weren't paying attention to the entire thread...or you just wanted to cherry pick some quotes out of their context to respond to.

The popular vote should determin the presidency.
With more than two candidates, a person can still win the Presidency with less than 50% of the popular vote. For example, if two candidates got 30% of the vote each, and the third candidate got 40%.
Quote:No, popular vote should only determine the presidency when there are two candidates. That is the only circumstance when popular vote is a fair method of determining a winner....that would definitely strip the electoral power away from the big states like New York, California, and Texas to make the governing process more fair to everyone else in the nation.
