I'm not writing this post as a way to debate anyone; I'm just trying to get my thoughts and feelings out. If you disagree with what I have to say, please just scroll on by and leave me be. I have as much right to my thoughts and feelings as you; and that is all these are: thoughts and feelings.
I still do not understand how Donald Trump won the election. If Hillary Clinton won the popular vote (a fact no one has disputed), and the Electoral College is supposed to vote *with* the People, then Hillary should have won. I've read a few articles declaring that "the average citizen just does not understand how the election process truly works." Well, then, explain it to us; please! We are not complete morons. In this age of 24/7 news channels and the Internet, Americans have more ways than ever before of learning about their candidates and making the choice they believe in. If the Electoral College is not legally required to vote the way the People vote, then exactly what IS the point of the Electoral College? In this age of computers, why can't we just cast our votes electronically from home, and have a mainframe computer somewhere programmed to count the votes up as they come in? All that would be needed is for one person to write a program that would let the computers do everything else!
