Maine Took the US One Giant Step Toward More Democratic Elections
Maine Took the US One Giant Step Toward More Democratic Elections
On Wednesday, Maine’s legislature passed a bill joining a compact to commit all of their electoral votes, regardless of who won in their individual state, to whichever candidate won the national popular vote.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don’t live in a swing state and I feel disenfranchised. My vote for president, for all intents and purposes, does not count in the current electoral college system.
I can’t wait for the compact to go into effect. Turnout in so many states would increase a lot.
However, my optimism is tampered by this supreme court.
If anything, living in a swing state makes it count more
I swear the word “don’t” was added in later
Literally what that person just said. They said: if they vote against the US district or state majority then their vote didn't really do anything.
See the guys other comment. Seems they accidentally added the "don't"
You mean to say they edited it in later? Because your comment makes no sense otherwise.
That's what I meant, yes.
Wow, long thread about it. By the way, I didn’t add the “don’t” after your comment. I just fixed a typo from “I can’t way for…” to “I can’t wait for…”. The “don’t” was there all along. You may have missed it. But no worries. I think we are all on the same page here.
Yeah, I wore that eight hours into a 12 hour graveyard shift. My brain was not fully functioning and I just wanted to inform the guy that you had updated your comment
