The Electoral system

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? It would be interesting to see how campaign tactics would change, not being able to focus on just "battleground" states. I don't recall seeing even one presidential ad, but I don't watch a lot of TV so there probably were at least some showing here. -- Charlie... http://bellsouthpwp.net/c/c/cchoc/
