North Cape May - However the popular vote ends up, it is the Electoral College representatives who will cast their votes Dec. 10 for Donald Trump. We are not a democracy, we are a republic. Go back to high school history class and learn all the ins and outs of why this system is best for a country of our size. A popular vote would give all the power and government resources to the east and west coast cities because of their huge populations of people. This would need a constitutional amendment to change. I don't see that happening anytime soon.
