The truth about Missouri when voting in a general election for President of the United States:
The state committee of each established political party shall certify in writing to the secretary of state the names of its nominees for presidential elector. At least one qualified resident of each congressional district shall be named as a nominee for presidential elector by each state committee.
If any of the electors appointed shall fail to attend at the seat of government by the hour of two o’clock in the afternoon of the day appointed by act of congress for their meeting, then the electors present may appoint other persons to act as electors in the place of those absent; and if there be a failure to elect, the electors attending at such time and place shall appoint some suitable person or persons, as the case may be, to fill the vacancy or vacancies existing by reason thereof.
This other vote known as the electoral vote takes place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December in each of the fifty (50) states. The time of day when the electors gather to conduct this vote may vary from state to state, but the electoral vote happens on the same day in every state, the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December. Another interesting point to mention: this electoral vote is weeks after we the people have already cast a so-called vote.
What happens to these electoral votes? Each state has a certain number of electoral votes associated with their state. There are a total of five-hundred and thirty-eight (538) electoral votes to be exact, and only a total of two-hundred and seventy (270) of these electoral votes are required to determine the person who will become President of the United States.
Knowing the number of electors associated with each of the States, it is mathematically possible to have only eleven (11) states determine who will become the President of the United States.
The following eleven states add up to the two-hundred and seventy (270) electoral votes needed to determine who becomes President of the United States:
California (55 electoral votes)
Texas (38 electoral votes)
New York (29 electoral votes)
Florida (29 electoral votes)
Illinois (20 electoral votes)
Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes)
Ohio (18 electoral votes)
Georgia (16 electoral votes)
Michigan (16 electoral votes)
North Carolina (15 electoral votes)
New Jersey (14 electoral votes)
This next fact may disappoint those of you who reside and vote in Missouri.
If these eleven (11) states end up having their electoral votes casted for the same candidate, the remaining thirty-nine (39) states would not matter at all. So… that vote you casted in the general election in November as a citizen… what was the purpose of your vote? The answer: NOTHING (when these eleven states have an electoral outcome as such) !!!
The time is NOW to understand that our country does not have a voting process in place whereby every citizen who wants to cast a vote is able to cast a vote and to then have his or her vote be accurately counted towards choosing the person who will become the next President of the United States.
