It basically means for each state the majority of the popular vote wins all the electoral college votes designated for that state..???

Wtf does that mean ?? Well different states were given more or less of these Electoral College votes depending on their perceived importance. It means the popular vote in States like California will always tip toward the Democrats and the popular vote in Texas will always swing towards the republicans. So the losing popular votes on these states count for nothing.

What a farce as the whole election boils down to winning the popular vote in just a few swing states..!!!

Get rid of this ridiculous outdated undemocratic system and replace it with a one person one vote = most votes wins system...!!!

ours is even worse. proportional representation has just been slung out of parliament again

As the lovely Eva Longoria said "What a twat".

I heard on the news that the first results should be in about 12, and by about 3am it'll be known who has won.

BBC
Sky News
or ITV?

What you guys choosing?

BBC cos ITV might have adverts

Have you never visited the Politics section?

Sky News looks promising so far.

loled when romney complained that we dont have as many battleships as we did in the 1900's
Obamas response " we also have fewer horses and bayonets "

He's an idiot. I think a 10 year old would be able to see that fewer battleships is not a real problem

LOL. One of the voting machines was glitched. Whenever someone tried press "Obama" it ticked "Romney".

Sky News.

I am massively worried this bellend is going to be the new President.

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT.

I will merge this I think, best to keep all election talk in one place

Seriously worried for Obama. :/ I want him to get it but just have a feeling Romney might edge it.
