Your Turn / Re: Any Trump supporters inclined to reconsider?
« on: November 10, 2016, 11:57:19 AM »Interesting and informative article on the democratic nature of our electoral system:Note that states are free to choose their electors in whatever way that is authorized by that state legislature. You do not have to have a "winner takes all" system in a state. Maine and Nebraska choose some of their electors based on who wins the vote in each congregational district. I think it is still the case that a state legislature could even choose the electors themselves with no popular vote by the people of that state. However I seriously doubt any state legislature would choose to do so - they would be out of office so fast your head would spin.
