Therefore to suggest that only the voters in a few swing states have any say is a construct of the media for the sake of headlines and is fundamentally flawed as a concept for the reason given.
😀 😀 😀
And there I was thinking you might show me all the states that everyone thought were a done deal suprising us and voting the opposite to what we expected.
And meanwhile in the real world….
political parties accept that some, no actually most US states (or indeed constituencies as the same is in part true with “safe seats” in the yookay) are already so full of enough voters who will only change their minds if their chosen candidate turns out to be The Devil Himself that they may as well accept that and concentrate on working on the opinions of the potential swing voters. A candidate who is foolish enough to ignore this and canvas wherever the wind takes him/her is in the real world a fool, and runs the greater risk of losing, since the die is already cast in the non-swing states.
So I stand by the minority of swing voters in swing states deciding it. 😀
BTW Just because I believe it doesn’t mean I am at all happy with it. The “electoral college” system as it is operated currently means that the political wishes of all those democrats in Texas mean absolutely naff all at the moment, same for republicsans in democrat ‘safe’ states.
