Even though the recent election didn't work out the same as how I cast my vote, it still worked out for me. As I said to one of my good friends months back, "Whoever wins, I'll be happy."
The crazy thing was watching the popular vote on Tuesday night. Yes, I know that the president gets elected by the electoral vote. But when are they going to do away with this electoral system? What is it going to take for us to modify this 18th century policy? And if they are going to keep this antiquated system in place, they should at least have to wait for the popular vote to be final before declaring each state's electoral votes.
This latest election visibly displayed that the variation of the electoral vote and popular vote is definitely possible.
