Electoral Votes are decided by how Representatives a State has representing it in the House of Representatives. Every State is automatically given 3 ( DC also has 3, though they are not represented in the House or Senate)

The Electoral College is the contingency plan, written into the Constitution. The EC is to prevent "mob" rule, or large population areas from deciding for the rest of the Country.

Couple of thoughts. MSM no longer reports the News, nor do their "journalists" do in-depth research. I believe this of all Media, not just Left or Right. It is all about them becoming part of the story, instead of reporting it. I do not need their take on it. I want the who, what, when, how and why....period. Every article I read or watch, regardless of the source, somehow always has in it, a swipe at Trump. It is getting old...real fast. It is not only the National Media, but Local as well. It's like every so called reporter ( I no longer call them "Journalists" ) is out to make a name for themselves. FakeNews is what the rotten bunch has become. Major Corps owning them and forcing their agenda's down our throat's. Enough is enough, I don't care who they were for, just stop the crap and making a big deal out of every little thing. Report the damn News, with facts and only true facts. Next the "Alt-Right", the reports on about the Disgusting White Supremacists....they are not the Alt-Right, they are disgusting pieces of crap. They do NOT represent the majority of those who voted for Trump. Regardless if you are Left or Right, there will always be fringe groups, that have absolutely nothing to do with the Majority of its base. Enough with the name calling. It is getting old. I am not a Racist, Facist or any other name, that I have been called. Just because my beliefs and decisions are different then yours. That is a great thing, we are all different. It would be extremely boring if we all thought and acted exactly alike. IMO Finally, our Forefathers were very wise men when they setup our Constitution. They included the Electoral College, so that the places with more Population, didn't get to decide everything. They gave each State EQUAL say. There are now 50 States in our Union, plus DC. Each State automatically gets 3 EV. The extra EV are then decided by population in a given State and allotted by how many Representatives they have in the House of Representatives. This total is 535.( DC is only one without representation in in the House) Each and every Citizens Vote does count, but it is within their own State. HRC got the most Votes in CA, therefore, she won the State and its Electoral Votes. Trump got the most Votes in OH, so he won the State and its Electoral Votes. Now CA has a larger Population then Ohio, but each Vote did count. By some States have larger Populations....the overall Popular Vote will be sometimes be different then the EC Winner. It is ALL about Checks and Balances. All States with EQUAL say. We are a Constitutional REPUBLIC, not a true Democracy. Also Absentee Votes do get counted and included. That is the reason the State's have date by when they have their final counts due. Provisional Ballots are the ones that may or may not be counted. Each State has their own laws for deciding that. Provisionals here in Ohio are used if for example, you moved between last time voted and present Election and forgot to change your address. Another would be you are Registered, but for whatever reason, not showing up on the rolls or inaccurate information is on it. I am also for Voter ID. We pretty much need a ID for everything in life now...banking, work etc. Same should apply for Voting. Here in Ohio we have different levels of Driver Licenses, as well as photo IDs. I know some States are allowing anyone, Citizen or not to get DL. But a Citizens DL, should look different then a Non Citizen, to prevent the NON-Factual Citizens from Voting. Sorry so long...Just my humble opinion. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone :)

There are a few of us here.

True, I questioned it. Found that it in fact was going to the RNC. Because of their lash back, they were not raising money like they normally would. They hounded us relentlessly. I point. blank told them to take me off their list. After Trump became the RNC Nominee, they came to a understanding of sorts. Trump mainly financed his own campaign, but did raise money for the RNC down ballot.

The DNC, as well as the RNC, continue taking contributions after the Elections. It goes into their War Chests for the next Election Cycle.

I agree with the first two scenarios. I grew up with some family members whom were extremely overweight. If they did not practice good hygiene.... Sorry...but they smelled really bad. My sister, was morbidly obese. She had to shower twice a day, if not she smelled horrible.

My MS has been really messing with my Vision lately. Can't focus on words, even with my glasses on. Very frustrating. I love to read. I feel for you on the hands hurting.

I believe that Mo did have problems finding a job. If Dani was broadcasting on FB and other social media. Employers wouldn't have hired him. Sandusky is not that big. It is busy during Summer because of Cedar Point. But Winter is a different story. Not sticking up for him, but Dani is as much to blame. She is not slow or anything else, she is very conniving and a grifter. ( I had a sister exactly like her. She even taught her daughter's same way. I had to cut off all contact with the girls, because of it) Dani evidently does have some bad female problems that she is refusing to address. If her personal hygiene is lacking along with her problem, it could be really "nasty" (Sorry) in smell and other wise. She is all about trying to make Mo stay or cone back to her. Wake up Dani....you pushed him away. I feel Mel/DeVar are extremely condescending to the other couples. Especially Mel. Paola is a joke, she doesn't want to be married. It's all about "her". Sorry Cupcake, but you are married and you are now part of a couple, not a individual. She treats Russ like dirt......Run Russ...very far away. Brett/Daya....stay away from his toxic Mother and Stepfather. Loran/Alexi they are just there. She thinks she is a little princess....smh

Had to share this with you All.... I saw the town on Caller ID and busted out laughing. Was going to answer, see if it was Dani or Mo..... Bwahahaha

Ref Danielle, I think it's not only that she pee's, but I get the idea that she does not have good personal hygiene. By Mo saying she needs to see a Doctor, makes me think she also has other female problems, that she is refusing to address. That with urine smell, could be very off-putting. I am extremely sensitive to smells. Mo may also be that way. Paola reminds of a Grifter also, just something about her whole attitude.

Dang I need to get Married....Pronto. Nespresso Machine.... Oh who am I kidding, I've waited 51 yrs......I can wait another 49.... Bwahahaha

What is right with it ?? The 90's called and want it back. House Party flashbacks. I have a teenage son. He keeps himself well groomed, which includes his hair. River's hair looks like a rat's nest. He needs to either style it or cut it . Notice, I did not say, relax it.

I want to take the clippers to River's hair....

Hey now...I live in Ohio !! Some of us here, are normal...LOL If Danielle is looking for a "new" man, all she has to do is wait till summer....She can go hit on guys at Cedar Point...... bwahahaha
