Hillary lost, get over it.
Via Charleston Post and Courier:
South Carolina Democrats have joined a national legal challenge over how the state’s nine Electoral College votes are awarded, contending the winner-take-all method in presidential elections is discriminatory and unconstitutional.
The suit, filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Charleston, references Hillary Clinton’s 2016 South Carolina results and the fact that in the final count, her showing here meant little.
“Republican Donald Trump received 54.94 percent of the vote in South Carolina, yet he received every single electoral vote from South Carolina,” the suit says.
“Likewise, Secretary Hillary Clinton received 40.67 percent of the vote in South Carolina, but received none of the electoral votes from South Carolina.”
Historically, the suit says, the college is particular discriminatory to black voters in the state in that it violates the concept of “one person, one vote.”
“It also distorts presidential campaigns, facilitates targeted outside interference in our elections, discriminates against racial and other minority voters, and ensures that a substantial number of citizen voters are disenfranchised when their votes are tallied in early November, only to be discarded when it really counts in mid-December,” according to the filing document.
South Carolina is one of 48 states, along with the District of Columbia, that awards its Electoral College votes in this manner. Maine and Nebraska use a split method.
Presidential candidates must collect 270 votes of 538 available to win the election. Each state is awarded their “electors” based on their number of combined congressional and Senate members.
