The Electoral College – 39 Second Read

A 39 second Must Read you will want to pass on.

In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the

Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why

should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the

nation?

The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the

Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the

Electoral College makes sense.

Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood.

There are 3,141 counties in the United States.

Trump won 3,084 of them.

Clinton won 57.

There are 62 counties in New York State.

Trump won 46 of them.

Clinton won 16

Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes.

In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan,

Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes

than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond)

Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton

winning the popular vote of the entire country.

These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles.

The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles.

When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles

of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of

those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome

of a national election.

Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc.) DO

NOT and SHOULD NOT speak for the rest of our country!

And…it’s been verified and documented that those aforementioned 319

square miles are where the majority of our nation’s problems foment.

Well worth the 39 seconds to read?  Now please pass it on. I did.
