How does the electoral vote affect the election? I see that Trump is ahead in the popular vote and behind in the electoral vote. What does that mean?

The popular vote has no bearing on anything. When we vote we vote for electoral votes, Trump needs 270 which he will get

Do the votes get counted by computer in the US? Florida is already reporting at 44%

Here in Australia they still count votes by hand.

Oklahoma's is electronic...we are given a ballot sheet and with a black ink pen we fill in the circle, square or rectangle and then feed it into a machine that scans it.

Certain states haven't been called yet...they are going to eventually go for Trump but until then they aren't assigning the Electoral votes yet

I think so too but let's not get too cocky and jinx it.

This saddens me, so our votes don't count? Then why are we voting? Or did I get something wrong?

Of course your vote counts all votes count, that is how the electors get picked and the candidate wins. The popular vote was started by others it never mattered in the USA, if the founding fathers had wanted to go by the popular vote your vote would not count

That's right, that's why the democrats want to get rid of the electoral college vote and pack the courts. They basically want to become like American Nazis.

Alright Biden's currently got 209 and Trump's got 112 this is literally crunch time.

OK, I get it, who is casting the popular votes then?

 

[Mayflower]

Everybody watching from the inside, while the world is getting restless on the outside.
