DUers, am at a loss about your voting system in the US.

populations had more electoral votes as compared to a bigger state such as LA. Seems to me that if the powers that be want to stay with the electoral votes, it should be comparable to the population! I believe that is why Mrs. Clinton lost but let me tell you, four years of Trump is a fucking nightmare!

are all archaic and broken. However, certain vested interests (read GOP) won't let us change them.

Both tried for electoral reform. Frankly, I feel that canvassing for money for adds should be illegal. Every party should be given a budget to campaign on. Unfortunately, money rules in the US, which sucks! Having to raise billions of dollars to campaign is retarded!

all of America. The effing GOP Senators pledged from day one to make him a one term president and obstruct him all the time, that they accomplised. Now you have asshole trump, what a fucking nightmare!

What went wrong is first that the number of electors has been badly apportioned and second that they've all forgotten how to do their job of protecting the country. They've become rubber stamps for the popular vote in that particular state, most of them apparently having forgotten why they are there in the first place.
