Soy Chadstralian journalist made a mistake explaining US Electoral College. Burgercels I need you to confirm.

[ilieknothing]

160 million Americans will vote. Only 538 will choose the next president

They are the members of the Electoral College. And they, in turn, are chosen by the legislatures of the 50 states plus the District of Columbia.

So the Democrats might win 48 per cent of the popular vote in a state, for example, but that state will award 100 per cent of its Electoral College votes to the winning party, the Republicans. Maine and Nebraska are the exceptions; they split their Electoral College votes in proportion to the parties’ share in the popular vote.

So my understanding is that Maine and Nebraska allocates electoral votes based on who wins each congressional district and the winner of the state overall wins 2 votes. It is not distributed proportionally.

I am bringing this up because this journalist is one of those “misinformation and disinformation” cucks but he is doing it himself.

I made a comment pointing out the mistake but it’s a soy newspaper where moderators have to approve every comment so it will never go through.

Also let me know if you want to read the whole article cause I know it’s behind a paywall.

The REAL truth is that the Jews just pick whichever party is more viable to them at the moment.

Your vote doesn’t mean shit and hasn’t in a while

ok well that helps answer OP's question

not ameritard so I'm not 100% on this

but I think OP is correct, the maine/nebraska electoral college isn't proportional to popular vote, it is based on congressional districts and finally 2 for the statewide popular vote winner
