Wahlkollegium / Electoral College Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Wahlkollegium / Electoral College:

In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush, but still lost the election. The Supreme Court's ruling in Florida gave Bush that pivotal state, and doomed Gore to lose the Electoral College. That odd scenario - where the candidate with the most votes loses - has happened three times in U.S. history. Juan Williams

I would anticipate that the Electoral College will be held on the 13th of December, and our 20 electorate votes will go to the certified winner.

Kenneth Blackwell

Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans.

Ed Gillespie

It's clear enough that there was substantial fraud in Ohio, thus delivering the Electoral College vote for President Bush.

George Galloway

Most people don't understand the Electoral College; they don't know why it exists.

If neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump nor I are able to win 270 in the electoral college... then it will go the House of Representatives.

Every citizen's vote should count in America, not just the votes of partisan insiders in the Electoral College.

Gene Green

Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College.

Thomas E. Mann

Much as banks don't care where your money's coming from, the Electoral College is all 'don't ask, don't care' when it comes to votes.

John Ridley

The Electoral College was necessary when communications were poor, literacy was low, and voters lacked information about out-of-state figures, which is clearly no longer the case.

Gene Green

Some of George W. Bush's friends say that Bush believes God called him to be president during these times of trial. But God told me that He/She/It had actually chosen Al Gore by making sure that Gore won the popular vote and, God thought, the Electoral College. 'That worked for everyone else,' God said.

Al Franken

Now that Donald Trump has won the presidency despite losing the popular vote, there's a growing cry to rethink, or even abolish, the electoral college. This would be a mistake.

William M. Daley

Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all.

Michael Bloomberg
