I fear Trump might win - and the voting structure in the US seems strange - how can someone be elected with less total votes across the country? The method per state seems to play in favour of the blonde "id..ot" - fingers crossed he will not win.

    I am sure you are aware of electoral college: the way it works, for presidential ballot, if a candidate can win the majority within a single state, even if by one vote; that candidate wins all the electoral votes in that state. That is why currently there are 7 states (swing states) where the voting matters. In fact one can narrow it further. If a candidate wins Michigan, Winconsin and Pennsylvania; there is a 95% probability that candidate will win the presidential election. No matter who gets more vote. That is the law.

      Yeah I know and read about this system indeed (which is different towards our voting system - not saying one is better than the other)

      “When you go vote for President, you do not vote for President,” Instead, you are voting for that party’s electors, who typically cast a vote in favor of the presidential candidate that wins the most votes in that state.

      Fingers crossed the swing states will decide the election AGAINST Trump! It wpuld be a disaster for the entire world if he wins
