Israeli forces clashed with Hamas militants across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Israeli military said, deepening its engagement in the decimated enclave even as the Palestinian death toll from relentless airstrikes in 12 weeks of war soared higher.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that 165 people had been killed in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks in the previous 24 hours, adding to the ministry’s toll of more than 21,500 people killed in Gaza since the war began with the Oct. 7 Hamas-led raids into Israel.
Which is actually optional. States can split them (but iirc only 2 out of 50 do…). It just doesn’t make that much sense in a two-party-system mostly split in the middle. That’s the bigger problem.
Yeah.
Technically, the states can decide how they allocate their votes. Nearly every state currently goes with the winner of their statewide election.
There’s the interstate popular vote compact, though. Basically, states will vote for the popular winner if enough states to guarantee the popular winner wins pass the compact.
But until that happens, we’re stuck with the current system.
