Only if the election is run from the beginning as a popular vote . The vote is not an opinion poll where you can rerun the crosstabs however you wish It ' s an action subject to incentives . The campaigns and voter strategy would be totally different under a popular vote election and there ' s no telling what issues would even have been relevant . As it stands the popular vote is nonrepresentative and uninteresting beyond pointing out how absurd the E . C . is . <| sep |> Damn man , you sound like you need a bing ruo , you ' re way too over angry about a picture a stranger posted on the internet . I ' m sure a lot of people smoke pot while they eat Thanksgiving , especially if they ' re alone like the title of the post inplies . And second , I didn ' t kow you need some spectacular one of a kind bong to post that smoking is part of your Thaksgiving . Geez , not everyone lives the fufilling life you apparently have .
