I just read in the last couple of weeks that someone won the election according to the electoral college, but had less than 40 per cent of the popular vote. Don’t remember who it was though.
I believe voting should be a “requirement” for all adults. There should be “NO” exit polls and “NO” reporting of results until “all” polls in the US have closed including Hawaii(lots of people in Hawaii don’t bother to vote because the election has long been decided before their polls close). Believe that it should be a majority of the popular vote and do away with the electoral college. No election should come down to a couple of battleground states with lots of electoral votes like the way the candidates flooded Ohio in the last weeks of this election.
Annelise, I have to agree with lightenup. It isn’t meant to be mean at all. Just kids talking the way they understand the situation. I’m sure lots of the readers of this strip are senior"ish" like me and understand and appreciate a kid’s perspective on things. I am terribly sorry about your Grandma, but I know the only one of my grandparents that I knew(my Dad’s mother) would have appreciated this strip.
