The reason the Electoral College decides presidential elections!

February 24, 2020 - In their infinite wisdom, the United States Founders created the Electoral College to ensure that the staters were fairly represented.

Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation?

The following list of statistics should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense.

Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Donald Trump won 3,084 of them. Hillary Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16.

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond).

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country. These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.

The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO NOT and should not speak for the rest of the country.

It has been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319 square miles are where the majority of the country’s problems foment.
