What I didn't know about the Electoral vote,

Actually what I don’t know about the

Electoral vote could fill a book in itself.

But these are a few things I didn’t know..

That it isn’t done a week after the election.

(giving a week for recounts)

While I knew the people who were from

each state, were of the party .. Guessing

if your state has 4 votes.. then they pick 4

from each party.. and dismiss the ones

that don’t apply… such has with Idaho

having 4, and of course went Republican.

So, therefore, the 4 democrats are let go.

Had it been the other way around.. the

4 Republicans would go.  And these are

chosen at the caucus or primary  times.

At least I think that is how it happens.

But did find out that if… one doesn’t like

the person for the party they are in.. they

do have the right to vote for someone else.

BUT, in some states or a lot of them.. if

that happens… they can kick that person

out and put in another who will vote

correctly… or tell them they are out of

order, so the person votes for whom they

are suppose.

I was also under the mistaken idea that it was

the common person who got voted to be a

Electoral voter.  NOT… while there is some

issue saying no one holding office or working

for the government can be a voter.   But then

on the other hand they say most of them are

chosen by how important they are in the party.

Also we see that ex-presidents can be one, as

Bill Clinton was one this year.  Very confusing.

Also when I found out that they didn’t vote

a week later but in fact, a month and half

later… I just found out.. that isn’t the end

of it either… It seems that this year, even

though the voting was done on December

19^th… and it is public voting.. (everyone

knows who they voted for) there is still

yet another hurdle…  It seems that on

January 6^th of 2017!!  CONGRESS has

to count the votes?  What, the ones where

everyone got to know who voted and for     

whom on December 19^th, isn’t good enough?

I don’t know about you..but I am getting

A headache from all of this…

Come on January 21, 2017.. let’s get this

whole circus over with, and let the new

clowns in.
