Join us on this week's episode of Keepin it 270, as we dive deep into the intricate workings of the electoral college voting system. From its origins rooted in history to its modern-day implications, we unravel the complexities that shape American elections.
Delving into the historical backdrop, we explore why the electoral college was implemented and unpack the shocking 3/5ths rule, shedding light on its impact on the nation's electoral landscape. You have to hear it to believe it.
Moving to the present day, we dissect how the electoral college influences voting patterns, particularly in swing states. We scrutinize the behavior of political campaigning in these pivotal regions and examine why states like California and New York often find themselves sidelined in the electoral equation.
Taking a closer look at the major swing states, we unravel their significance in determining election outcomes and uncover some startling historical voter patterns and analyse the how and why these states changed.
As the episode draws to a close, we shift gears to discuss recent political developments, including Trump's civil damages in New York and get into a spirited debate as Nathan challenges Morris on allegations of Biden's alleged manipulation of the judiciary.
Tune in for an illuminating exploration of America's electoral college system, where history meets contemporary politics, and where not every vote carries weight in shaping the nation's future.
