Can Anybody Answer This Question for Me?

[Rockin']

Does the Popular vote for the President of the United States of America actually mean anything, with the exception of the case being that the Electoral College vote ends in a tie? .......Rockin'

[GGG Gloveking]

No. The popular vote is irrelevant

[YoungManRumble]

It quite literally sounds like a popularly contest to me.

Weird system.

The popular vote of the state wins you the electoral vote... so...

No, especially if many of those votes are fraudulent.

No, especially if many of those votes are fraudulent.

Has Pence discovered the 3 million illegal votes in 2016

No, especially if many of those votes are fraudulent.

Lol, like this years ********ic party votes?

But essentially they mean nothing as to who becomes President?............Rockin'

I found my answer. The popular vote actually puts in the winning parties people who are to vote for the pres/vice-pres as the state sees fit.

.

It still confuses me though.......Rockin'

Correct. If there is a tie in the electoral votes Congress becomes the tie-breaker.

Why would he go through all of that expense to track down non-existent voters when Trump won? Had it gone the other way I'm sure he would have.
