The Electoral system
What? And let the peoples' vote count? End pork barrel to the large
electoral vote states?
And force all to read history before voting?
How does it work in Australia?
.... The present system is not about government, it is about party
perpetuation.

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?
