What is the formula for determining the electoral college? That seems rediculous.

re: time to abolish the damn electoral college ..

Nope, it's time to take a civics class ..

Every state regardless of population has two ( 2 ) Senators and a minimum
of one ( 1 ) Representative giving said state a minimum of three ( 3 ) Electoral Votes ..

If the liberals don't like that math ..
There's nothing preventing those in CA and NY from moving to states like Wyoming ..

Triff ..

I hate that Trump won but the thinking behind the electorial college is sound. Without it being the way it is small states would never ever have a say in governing and NY and California would dictate everything. ..........One of the major reasons Trump won was that rural people were just largely ignored.

What you want is repeal of the 23rd Amendment, which would make the number of electors proportional to the population. This is, I think, an impossible feat.

Not even Connecticut or New Hampshire or Hawaii would support it, let alone any red state.

Get over it. Not going to happen. It is fair and sensible. No way small states are going to turn the country over to NYC and Cali.
