Two people are injured and the suspected gunman is dead following a shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.
A gunman opened fire just before 10:49 a.m. in Constant Hall, an academic building on the school’s campus, according to university officials.
Which oddly enough was only the second time since Bush 1.0 Republicans scored a majority of voters. The bigger nuanced items for any non-Americans to understand is that the president is not elected by a popular vote. The Electoral College votes for president. That is comprised of electors selected by each state dependant on how the popular vote within the state turns out. The number of electors is based off congressional representation. That is determined partially/loosely by population for House Representatives plus two for Senators. So our least populous state, Wyoming, has 3 electors at a population of about 590k. Our most populous state, California, only has 55 electors and a population of 39.4M. So the ratio of population to Electoral voter is 197k and 716k respectively. That means for the same amount of influence in a presidential election, California needs to match 716,000 voters for every 197,000 Wyoming voters. This issue is horrifically lopsided in favor of Republicans.
