I haven't done anything wrong.

 

One important correction, Common.  If you have been following posts on this topic, I said I was not a fan of the electoral college for many years .......... long before this election.  It has occurred 5 times throughout our history that the candidate who won the popular vote did not win the election.  I'm simply not a supporter of the system, and if Donald Trump won the popular vote and not the electoral vote, I would feel the same way.

I started a thread under the 'Issues Only' sub-forum entitled "Time to Jettison the Electoral College".  There were 23 responses contributing to the discussion, but you chose not to participate.  You have your reasons and that's ok with me, but you will notice I started the thread listing the presidents that didn't win the election but won the electoral vote.  I would like to hear your thoughts on why you believe the electoral college syatem is a good idea for a functioning democratic society.

As far as the Detroit stuff you cited, I say fine, fix the problem and while we are at it, I think it's just as important (more important, in my opinion) to get to the bottom of the contention that foreign governments have the technological ability to screw with our democracy.
