The Electoral system
From: rw
In the 2000 election Gore won the popular vote by about 500,000 votes,
but lost the election to Bush by the Electoral vote count.
In the 2004 election Bush won the popular vote by about 3,500,000 votes,
but if Kerry had gotten about 140,000 more votes in Ohio he would now be
the President-elect by virtue of a majority of Electoral votes.
Isn't it time to reform this stupid, broken system?
No It is working just fine, and I would feel the same if Kerry had won Ohio.
