But, (big but) several states allocate their electoral votes in the same percentages as the popular vote. It might be easier to change the allocations on the state level. At least that would short circuit the claims by the winners that they have a "landslide" when they only have slightly more than half of the vote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-25507885860691136142004-09-01T14:41:00.000-07:002004-09-01T14:41:00.000-07:00I await your alternatives with baited breath.

Hate to split hairs but we are a Republic, not exactly a democracy. We have Repesenitives. Bt the way I responded to your next enty before reading this. I guess you were pretty fair about the Al Gore JR deal. A lot of folks dont remember the pre election buzz about Bush winning the popular vote, but not the electorial vote. I do. You have to think though, if Gore wasnt smart enough to know he was being bluffed about losing California, keeping him out of other up for grab s=tates, was he smart enough to be president. Also...i think if most Democrats actually thought Gore was screwed by the system, not just lame, they would have re-run him this year in stead Mr.Kerry. Also the same democrats that praise liberman as Washington like in statesman ship in 2000 gave him the boot pretty damn quick in 2004Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
