At least we have great minds like Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump making the call about when to open back up.

me trying to figure out if this was meant to be funny or not.

ill take his opinion over 98% of Americas, esp Don.

He was wrong..

Well, the citizens elect that governor.

I have no idea what he passed and don’t know much about him. But we the people elect our leaders.

This how Northam won; heavily populated urban areas for the most part. Just a reminder as to why the electoral college is so necessary in federal elections.

This is a fantastic article that is long but I encourage you all to read.

Do you work for Clay Travis?

 

[Volator]

That sucks...

That would be the US if the electoral college was abolished. California, NY and Texas would determine presidents.

 

[MarcoVol]

That sucks...

why tho? More people that live in the state voted for him to represent them. He literally represents what the majority of the citizens in his state wanted. I know this bc again, more citizens in his state voted for him

Yea, I understand. But the people still elected their leader. That’s how the state votes. From a quick check, it appears Virginia has been predominantly democratic in its history anyway.

While the two parties in TN are probably closer together in ideology than their federal counterparts, before Lee, the governor’s seat had alternated between both parties for 50 years. TN has the same situation- several urban areas that vote opposite of the majority of the state.

Meh...Kaintuckee brought it on themselves when they didn't secede with the rest of the Southern States.

....also turned out to be a big problem for the south. Ohio river would have come into play then.

Just another bit of history info for those interested.

this is the map that is important. land does not vote, people do. and they voted for Northam by a 9 point spread.

So Washington DC decided the governor of VA

well, they're residents of VA and DC doesn't have a governor to vote for so...

 

[BaldBiker]

Va

While true. The southern states desperately needed Kentucky and especially the Ohio River as a buffer. To look at the other side though...one of the reasons Kentucky didn't secede was they did not want their state to be one of the main battle areas...and it would have been. Because they didn't, Tennesse then became one.

Your map shows the same as mine; that the urban areas decided the election.

Thought you were saying that map that you quoted was KY bc you referenced KY. And I was saying it was Va not Ky. Perhaps I’ve been quarantined too long

Lmfao...nope not you. ME! I swear when I pulled that map up...I saw Kentucky. I either need to stop drinking, or drink more. I personally am voting for the latter.

A lot of the blame falls on Gideon Pillow, who decided to cross into neutral KY and seize the town of Columbus and pretty much ended any chance that KY might secede. Whether KY would have had that not happened, I don't know. Most southern Kentuckians favored secession, while most in the northern part of the state were Unionists because of the trade with northern states.

I've said that myself several times before, but not anymore. Not being critical of him, but he's proven as clueless about this as anybody else. He's gone from telling the public not to worry; don't change your daily life; it'll be just like a sever flu season, to we may have to show vaccine certificates, and maybe 200,000 will die, and we will have to be in lockdown for months. Now, like everything others say, I take it with a whole lot of salt.

Should urban votes count for less or something?

You seem like the kind of guy who would crap all over Fauci for anything he did that was to the detriment of God Emperor Trump.

While the numbers were close, I do think that the majority would have gone with secession, had it not been for a few key things. Pillow being o e of them. A large number of battles being fought I. Their state another. A handful of lesser, but still important to Kentuckians things. The river would have been a big buffer for the South though.
