I ' m following most of your logic , the problem , in this scenario is that Trump didn ' t gain any advantage from winning . Even if he only won by a small margin , the system you ' ve described has them tying . I do like the concept , but I think a win , even if it ' s ever so small , should so be reflected in the EC votes distribution . In this scenario I would say Trump 9 HRC 7 . This at least reflects who won and gives a voice or votes for the other heavily represented side . And are you sure you were replying to the right comment ? <| sep |> Thanks for actually answering . We have been asking around at different places and not getting a very clear response . I figured this was the case , but my cousin has it in her head that it is more official to get married in a town hall .
