Why don't you tell us about the electoral college...genius
We live in a REPUBLIC not a DEMOCRACY...what part of that don't you understand.
"The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system — i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority."
"Make every vote count"...just the opposite...mob rule!!
Maybe you need to find another country...since you're not a fan of one of it's BASIC principals.
You drink to much...WHISKY!!
