congradulating themselves on getting more delegates with fewer votes. Does this senario sound even vaguely familiar? Hint: think about 2000 EC votes.

2. I was thinking the damn same thing....Nevada voters rejected Obama. Hell, even the culinary workers |
|
didn't listen to their union....
And yet his camp is bragging about losing, but getting more delegates?
Pretty damn pathetic.

Thats the entire purpose of the election. Sorry you don't like the system, but it is what it is.

6. We fought to find the votes in FL to win the Electorial College |
|
The problem in 2000 was the votes not being counted, not the system we were working under. It is what it is.

7. The same can happen in other states, though |
|
NY awards delegates by congressional district. A candidate could win a bunch of congressional districts by a matter of a few votes and lose a few congressional districts by a lot of votes, thereby ending up behind in the statewide count, and still walk away with a majority of delegates.
