Just to make things simple for you, let's say a state counts as 4 electoral votes. This means they have 8 delegates to the electoral college: 4 republican and 4 democrat. If the republican wins the plurality of the vote, the 4 republican electoral college delegates cast their vote for the republican. If the democrat wins the plurality of the vote, then the 4 democrat electoral college delegates cast their vote for the democrat. Some states require the electoral college delegates vote the will of the people, some don't. But it is rare to see them not go with whoever wins the plurality of the vote. In the 2000 election, only one electoral college delegate voted against the will of the people, actually they abstained their vote as a protest. But again, that is rare.

The so-called Electoral College is nothing more than a title. Just to make things simple for you, let’s say a state counts as 4 electoral votes. This means they have 8 delegates to the electoral college: 4 republican and 4 democrat. If the republican wins the plurality of the vote, the 4 republican electoral college delegates cast their vote for the republican. If the democrat wins the plurality of the vote, then the 4 democrat electoral college delegates cast their vote for the democrat. Some states require the electoral college delegates vote the will of the people, some don’t. But it is rare to see them not go with whoever wins the plurality of the vote. In the 2000 election, only one electoral college delegate voted against the will of the people, actually they abstained their vote as a protest. But again, that is rare. Yes, the Electoral College does not make sense and we should be rid of it.

Sorry for the long reply, but I had to chime in on that one bit.

It asked if you are surprised that NH poll found so many negatives for Hillary Clinton. The answers are 1. Yes she is a viable candidate, 2. No<br/><br/>Whare the negatives. 86% said that she is a viable candidate. If it had found that she is not a viable candidate there would have been negatives. <br/><br/><a></a><a></a>Posted by<a><b> </b></a><a HREF="http://www.newerawisp.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow" TITLE="fakir005 at aim dot com">Satish Bhardwaj</a> I do not understand what the poll is supposed to imply.

I’m also confused by people’s strong feelings about Clinton. . .to me she’s always seemed smart, competent, but of mixed enough opinions as to be uninspiring–of either devotion or hatred.
