The Electoral College
"Each State is allocated a number of Electors equal to the number of its U.S. Senators (always 2) plus the number of its U.S. Representatives (which may change each decade according to the size of each State's population as determined in the Census)."
Yup. And California is at the top! We have 55

It kinda scares me, though...how so few people in the US know anything about the government and how it works and politics...I mean, I don't know about other states, but in Illinois you can't graduate high school unless you take and pass government. They try to make sure that people are educated about this, and yet there's still so many people who are completely clueless.
See I don't see the point to this if your state is decided for who it "votes" for 😕
What a waste of time that is 😛
In the "decided" states, there really isn't too much a point of voting because it's known how it'll go. Illinois is one of the states that always goes democratic. Which frankly I'm not complaining about 😛 but the swing states it IS important that everyone votes, as we've seen a few times.
Yeah, I know that being as I live in Illinois it really doesn't matter that I vote. But I still voted last night, and I'll still continue to vote last night.

Okay, so then explain to me exactly why the f*ck a civilian needs an assault weapon. And do you REALLY need to use three smilies in a 2 sentence post? That's really annoying.

I was against the experation of the ban, but really if i want an assault weapon... i can get one easy, for even less then a store would charge me without tax. So really i don't think it mattered either way in the end. Smillies are my choice, and if somehow pictures get in the way then maybe you should really consider how well you are reading my post.
