| NightDragon83 said: Fun fact for those saying all elections should be based on overall popular vote rather than electoral representatives from each state... Hillary actually got more total votes than Obama did in the 2008 primaries, so if we were operating on a popular vote system for both primaries and general elections, we never would've had the past 8 years of Obama whom Democrats now worship as the 2nd coming of Jesus lol! |
The parties aren't government institutions so they can have whatever rules they want to during their primaries (hence why some use superdelegates and other methods besides popular vote). The electoral college is obviously a flawed, outdated system which was founded on voters being ignorant (which they still are) because back then news didn't really travel that fast. Now it travels too fast.
