U: Um, in the US system the College *does* trump the popular vote.
Not in most elections. In most elections, the popular vote DETERMINES electoral votes. You persist in acting as though the opposite were the norm when it is not.
U Actually yes, future-foresight was required, and from the bunch that are able to rig an election like this in 2000 but failed to do little things like, I don't know, faking evidence of WMDs in Iraq when this would be a very obvious similar example of such a track record.
And you also persist in pretending that it was the George W. Bush administration that rigged the election when it was not. It was the Jeb Bush administration.
U: As you've already explained the circumstances where this comes about requires unrealistic foresight on the part of a buncha palookas who failed to show it at any other time.
I've explained nothing of the kind. I've pointed out that the voter suppression that took place in Florida was no freakish wacky conspiracy theory, but business as usual when it comes to voting in the south. There's no need for a state to be a swing state for voter suppression to take place.
