I agree with AlaskaMike. Supposedly, the EC was instituted to give the small states an equal voice- but I don't see that it works that way.

Mike, are you for RunOff voting? I was, tentatively, then I read of the many complications that are attached to that so I gave it up.

You know, we are in a very different situation nowadsys from when the constitution was created. Back in those days, a president could be elected for three WEEKS before the farflung populace knew it. Today, thanks to exit polling we are told the winner BEFORE he is elected.

It just seems like we could re-shape things to fit modern times. I still have a lot of hope for the computer age- for instance, it should never happen these days that a mechanic newly enlisted in the army should be made a camp cook- but we are not making much use of it in many important ways. Ah, well, the age is still in its infancy.

Don't get me wrong- I don't want touch-screen voting - or at least not until a paper trail is fixed and mandatory.
