    It’s very comforting to see it as a visual aid. Thank you, Stella!

    And we go back to when I was in high school (yes, we had slate blackboards with chalk) and the civics teachers were predicting we’d have the majority of the population living in strip-cities along the coast. At that age demographics and its political consequences were the furthest thing from our hormone drenched minds…’cept for a few of those really strange kids in class…so aside from answers on the mid-terms the concept just sorta got stuck up on a shelf.
    Now here we are, a country ruled by urban dwellers largely centered on self-indulgence and totally dependent on various levels of government for their daily existence. Doesn’t bode well for democracy.

    This site is updating the Electoral College vote as it happens.

    Electoral College voting is voting exactly as it should 🙂 Good thing it is so cold across much of America the Liberal’s might just stay home and cry rather than take to the streets and riot.

    I firmly believe without all the illegals voting in California and probably New York as well, the popular vote wouldn’t be close either.
    If you took out the illegal votes across the country, I think a lot of states that Trump won would have been by greater margins and states he lost would have been closer.
    Besides the fact that what fits for California certainly doesn’t fit for us.

    The irony is that 4 electoral votes in Washington State split off to “Other”. The other 8 went to HRC.

      I wonder if the parents who raised all of these crybaby psychos are embarrassed at their behavior? I realize some of them are parents and some are even grandparents, but the bulk seem to be the younger generation who were never told no and have carried their temper tantrums into threats and assaults.

        In some cases I doubt it. In the Mrs. case, well, let’s just say I’ve stopped hugs from happening more than once (only because I didn’t feel like digging a hole and getting dirty).

    Trump ended with 304 electoral votes. Two holdouts in Texas.
