LOTR stands for Lord Of The Rings <| sep |> I just donated 5 dollars to the hole just because of your pretentious jackassery <| sep |> The popular vote is influenced by the Electoral College . If you are a Republican in California or a Democrat in Montana you don ' t show up to vote because the EC winner take all system say that it would be a waste to . Thus it screws the popular vote . You cannot use the popular vote in the EC system as gospile and say that if its a popular vote Gore and Hillary would have won . I am not saying that EC is better or worst , just the Popular Vote this election does not reflect what would happen if we had a popular vote system . <| sep |> Hey just one more thing , make sure you attend confession regularly to make sure that you are always in a state of grace .
