Article II, Section 1, of the United States Constitution provides that the President of the United States is elected by the Electoral College via majority vote in a single-winner contest. Of the 50 states, all but two award all of their presidential electors to the presidential candidate who wins a plurality of the popular vote in the state (Maine and Nebraska each award one of their electors to the candidate who wins a plurality of the statewide vote; the remaining electors are allocated to the winners of the plurality vote in the states' congressional districts).
But the President is not actually on the ballot, a panel of electors are on the ballot. When you vote for President, you are voting for that panel of electors.
In this case, you have panel 1B which is the republican party proper panel (their actual names will be listed somewhere on the ballot) and panel 1C which is a TOTALLY different panel of electors for the conservative party (their names will also be somewhere on the ballot).
Don't believe me? Go look it up. Grab you ballot and see for yourself.
In this case, the conservative party are literally splitting the vote by having their candidate as the same as the republicans.
The poll will not say Trump 44k votes... it will say 1B = 23k votes 1C = 21k votes and which ever panel is biden 2G = 35k votes....
Guess which panel wins? 2G
Now I see this is 2016 ballot as Hillary is on it, but this is how it works folks.
Never vote for a panel that isn't the actual panel approved by the POTUS as HIS party.
Hey dipshit, you just fucked up.
When you vote for President you are not voting for President. You are voting for a panel of electors.
When your state counts, they are going to tally which panel got the most votes, NOT which CANDIDATE.
You (and your state and frankly the Conservative party of your state) just split the vote for DJT.
Fucking imbeciles.
Thanks for the input. Go fuck yourself
Understand what you’re doing before you pick up your crayon Tiny.
