Time to Go
Posted by Brent under: elections .
Ok, it’s officially time for the electorial college to go away. It never really worked: see the Jefferson/Van Buren mess in our 3rd presidential election. It causes disproportiante representation favoring small states. Time for a constitutional ammendment to fix our system of voting.
One Comment so far...

I completely agree. The writers of the constitution probably never thought that the Supreme Court would be tasked with picking a president, either. I believe one of the reasons they thought of for justifying the electoral college was that ‘the American public isn’t smart enough to pick a president.’ Hmmm …. They might have us on that one.
