One vote is such BS.

Whoa! I would rep you for that but I can't.
Above and beyond informative sir!
While our government is far from perfect, it's the best in the world in my honest humble opinion. I don't see how it could be changed without fundamentally dismantling everything that is the foundation of our Nation. Literally.
There is a reason that it is important to vote, and it's because those people in the electoral college that really vote for president, guess who they are!
Anything is possible, and it could change somehow someday, but I don't think that it is likely to happen in my lifetime, nor would I want it to.:jointsmile:

Electoral college by itself aint that bad of a thing. What really is bad about it is that the people in there who cast their vote are NOT "obligated" nor "required" to follow their's state's popular vote outcome.

example: State X can pick candidate A after all votes have been counted and if the their delegate wishes, they can vote candidate B without having to conform to their constituents vote. This is exactly what my government course professor said, although I personally know of no such occurrence in the past and have no confirmed it independently, but since this guy was a political science guru, i wouldnt think he is wrong

EDIT: wait, i found it
Electoral College (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

despite all the hate and criticism, u gotta love this wikipedia, does a fairly good job and speeds things up:thumbsup:

This makes it so there are few supporters for the candidates that could actually make our country prosper (Ron Paul), and the people that vote for them only take votes from the front runner that shares a lot of the same views. If they didn't purposely set it up like this, then they sure are taking advantage of it. Which is why it need to be changed. You should get a primary vote and a secondary vote. That way I could Rating: 5
