Donald Trump

Well, where I live we have had record numbers of people moving here from lots of states, many of them traditional so called blue states. There is no question the demographic is changing. A couple years back I saw more plates from MI than from here. Why? They had the worst unemployment and no good prospects. So, yes, people will pick up and move if they have to. But no one is sure just how it will all shake out.

@Jennik: maybe you'll listen to reason if it's coming from a liberal and Huffington Post contributor. (Edit: links in the details section for bonus reading.)

H. A. Goodman and reason don't belong in the same sentence. You will not find a man with a bigger axe to grind, and he grinds that fucker every single chance he gets. He's been on a crusade against Clinton for a long time. Rational, fact-based argumentation has never been his weapon of choice in that crusade.

I'm also not sure why being a liberal or having content on Huffington Post would make someone credible. Credibility comes from content, and the content spewing forth from that idiot is most assuredly not credible. Someone repeating the same irrational bullshit that's completely ungrounded in reality that you believe doesn't mean it's "reason." The nutty things you say are not reason, they're nonsense.

Like that absurd tabloid story you posted earlier, people like you and Goodman take one tiny grain of truth and wrap it a thick layer of falsehoods, misrepresentation, propaganda, and insanity. Linking me to others of your ilk doing the same thing will not convince me of anything besides the overwhelming extent of your credulity.

Edit: Here's a search for "is h a goodman credible" on Google. The answer is "lol fuck no," stated in many different forms. Just to make sure, you still claim to care about listening to the best, unbiased sources and come to fair, balanced, and reasonable conclusions, right? Okay, cool. Just checking. :)

I got some questions about the "state winning" votes...

Okay let's say we got Red vs Blue in wonderland with 5 states (ABCDE).
Red vs Blue votes are in:

A) 9000:500
B) 400:600
C) 300:700
D) 200:400
E) 100:300

Red had a landslide win in A, but Blue won the remaining 4 states.

Years later before the next election,
Red voters have moved out of A into different states,
and the new election votes look like this:
(-4000 from A, +1000 into every other state).

A) 5000:500
B) 1400:600
C) 1300:700
D) 1200:400
E) 1100:300

So Red wins every state. Is this how it goes? Is it really this stupid?

I know it's not this simple, and you probably can only vote in a state which you are registered in,
but theoretically you could move the surplus of voters into a state where their vote would make a change?

This could happen, to an extent. Aside from it being very costly for the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of people it would take to do this, some states have laws that shield against some forms of this. I believe the law in my state is such that you need to be a resident for 3 or 6 months or something to register. You'd also have the logistical problem of anticipating, analyzing, and acting alongside demographic shifts that aren't part of your plan.

For example, North Carolina for the last year(or two) have been gaining a net 250 people per day from people moving to their state + births - deaths - emmigration. It would be challenging to keep abreast of that as it changes dynamically across all 50 states.

Despite the super negative response you received from one poster, this idea isn't that far fetched - Libertarians started just such a campaign to move to one of the smaller new england states (dont remember which one) so that they could guarantee themselves 2 senators lol.

I was just trying to point out how flawed that "state vote = winning" system is as a whole,
and fundamentally fails to represent the true total vote of the entire nation.
This seems almost like a gimmick...

They should switch to digital voting asap (increase the turnout) and count only individuals directly.
Raw vote count. No "electoral" state vote bullshit.

Electoral college is in the constituion.

OMG the fight in Florida is Real
