Good article on Electoral Vote vs. Popular Vote and why this election is a lot closer than what the tracking polls say

Winner of popular vote might win the election


BTW, we have a electoral vote system for those not informed

good article, my take on the electoral college:


completely get rid of it. then hold elections where the winner was to win by a 5%-10% difference from the runner up. if there is not 5%-10% difference have a second election in a month or two. also while we are add it, have an option for none of the above, if none of the above wins, then all parties have to elect new candidate and go into a "kamakize" election.



it would be exciting.

think about it man, the parties would be in such a scrable to pick a candidate that can pull of a kamikase elections which means that ppl like, collin powell, madilen albright, john mccain, hillary clinton would be more than likely picked.



it would be much more interesting and the voters would get a better glimpse of the candidates specially since they are supposed to be "known" already and not need to campaign as much.

Better yet, f*ck the party system and just vote for the most capable or deserving people.
