This definition shows an absurd and extreme, but illuminating example of how the loser in the presidential election can have an arbitrarily high percentage of the popular votes compared to the winner, i.e., way more then 5 or 10 percent.
Suppose there are 540 electoral votes. Divide the states into two groups, one having 271 votes, the other 269. Suppose in the "271" states, only 1 person in each state votes Democrat, 0 Republican. Suppose in the "269" states, 0 vote Democrat, millions Republican. Then by the electoral college majority, the democrats win but the Republicans have a million times more votes than the Democrats.

In the 2012 presidential election, it initially appeared that we might have an electoral college paradox. But the Democratic popular vote came back up and it was avoided.

Get the George Watson's Collegemug. Fresno city college is just a dump that calls itself a junior college. Most of the minorities there are gang members, sex offenders, rapists, and other stereotypes. The mexicans are stuck up and racists, the blacks are just stupid as hell, and the poor white trash will more likely rape you in the ladies bathroom. The asians there are mostly Hmong and Thai who treated the campus like they're still the Vietcom death camp. Takes most Mexicans seven or eight years to complete a 2 year degree
