Democrats continue to insist the 'popular vote for House and Senate is a thing,' which is why they only control one branch of government.
Aside from not understanding basic civics about fed elections, the House isn't 1 branch of the govt it is 1 chamber of 1 branch.
If this doesn’t worry a lot of people, gerrymandering has found its rightful place on manipulated democracy
And that is clear proof AmericanDemocracy is BROKEN: When Democracy becomes a Game you can RIG we end up with DonaldTrump as POTUS
Good. Dummycrats can work on controlling their hair now
Big cities big lights.
Popular illegal vote? Yes!
Only now would the left and failing publications like NEWSWEAK mention vote count totals. No one cares
Surely you realize there would never had been a Preident Obama With your thinking. Educate ElectoralCollege StateRights
NeedsExtraTime You know, or should know, sir, that is not how the election of Senators does or was designed to work. The intent of the article is disingenuous at best and a deliberate falsehood at worst intended to deceive. Disgraceful propaganda. 1/2
Electoral system of a banana republic.
Because the country should not be governed by cal and ny
The Constitution is not going to change The EC process was set up to protect the minority States. Why don't you help educate the youth. Well apparently adults also. (JoyVBehar) You are contributing to the division of this Country due to ignorance
And to think.....if little ole Wyoming and Vermont both had a mass exodus of people, they'd both still get two senators. Founding Fathers were brilliant at developing a system to protect regular folk.
rhonda_harbison And we need to resist and protest and vote in huge numbers to overcome this madness.
The Senate and House are state elections not nation wide popular votes, some states have more people than others. I'm perplexed Newsweek does not know how senators or members of congress are elected...
THE DEMS WON THE MAJORITY OF THE SENATE SEATS UP FOR GRABS, AND A BIG REASON FOR WHY THEY HAD SO MANY MORE VOTES IS BECAUSE THE MOST POPULATED STATE HAD 2 DEMS AND NO REPS ON THE BALLOT. Christ this is getting infuriating.
They control the one that goes purely on popular vote. Are you mental?
No such thing as electoral college or gerrymandering for the Senate. At large voting. We're not all as brain dead as your readers.
The house and senate are the same branch, so by your estimation they control 1/2 a branch. Jesus Christ your supposed to be a news organization.
DÉMOCRATES POURRIS MENTEURS SOROS MANIPULATION
We are a republic. If popular vote decided elections we would be a communist nation like Venezuela and Russia.
Yes, this is why the Senate exists. So Los Angeles and New York can't dictate the course of the entire country. Apparently you were sleeping in high school Civics class.
Embarrassing ignorance Newsweek. Popular vote for senate? Only 1/3 of seats up this year. California had no republican option. Your bias is overwhelming!
I never say a truer example of fake news
Boy, people are really stupid and need a civics lesson. Popular vote isn’t relevant in a senate race and shouldn’t be misleading people. In addition people should educate themselves on the constitution before speaking. Each senate is afford 2 senators statewide.
Because of gerrymandering...
that's the way banana republics roll
Popular vote for the house and senate? Lol what

Group of House Democrats pledge to oppose Nancy Pelosi's bid to return as House SpeakerA group of 16 House Democrats signed a letter Monday pledging to oppose Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's bid to become the next House Speaker: 'The time has come for new leadership in our Caucus.' 16 out of 230? Let them sit down. I favor the motion That’s swell but while I may not have enough fingers and toes to double check the math, I think this gang of 16 is still short a few votes.
