EC Trivia for Americans

Does YOUR state have
a) female members of it's Electoral College?
b) non-White members of it's Electoral College?
c) openly gay or transgender members of it's Electoral College?

D) in what year did your state first appoint such a person to be a member of it's Electoral College?
e) Has your state EVER had a black, Hispanic, Asian, openly Gay, or female member of it's Electoral College?

In some states the answer to those questions may be a shock given the demographics of the state. Then again, maybe not. LoL

f) do you even care?

The state that I'm in is in a state of disrepair.frustrated laugh

BTW I enjoyed your Bulldog Revolver Youtube episode.
Dont know if you saw the assassination of the Russian Ambassador in Turkey on tv . Dropped on the spot. Not good at all. Sad state of affairs.sigh
Wow Ken, I can't even think of possibility to assess who is who in my liberal infested state of mine.

But nevertheless, I think and trust that whoever is to represent such a group has to abide by its decision, other than that I think that the representative can be sued should he or she doesn't do what is expected of him to vote for, then again, how will that be found out is something I don't have a clue.
Having read what you said Ken, tell me something I don't know, so this vote going on today, what impact can it do to the our elected President?
Yes. That was the origional concept, but at lrast once the EC itself picked a terrible President (Polk) who was not the popular choice of any party
.
Today the State of Washington's EC totally ignored their popular choice (Clinton) and voted instead for everyone else. LoL

Several EC voers in other Clinton states cast wasted protest votes for Sanders instead. Again LoL
While I was trying to learn about the EC I watched a couple of videos and it seemed HC was definitely NOT flavour of the month with the Democrats. Oops.

So I half-understand the EC but I still don't understand how unpopular candidates become the official party candidate confused

Don't try to explain, I don't understand politics at all! laugh
It's official, Trump has won the EC vote......
That just means he got his 270. Some states are still not in.
Ken and Sands I just knew it. cheering
The big winner in Washington State (a place where marijuana hhas been decrminalized) was former Secretary of State (and former Head of the Joinnt Chiefs of Staff) Colin Powell who got four EC votes there.
Did anyone here see that coming? LoL
