Minnesota has a huge interest in maintaining the electoral system. Just
think of the attention a popularly elected president would give to our
state if he need five million votes in New York or California.
Also, the polls in both state (NY and Ca) were overwhelmingly
Democratic. Gore's popular lead is from those states where many
Republicans simply stayed away. Its not a "real" test of popularity.
Just consider the chilling effect on Republican votes in California
alone when NY, Mi, Pa, Ma, Ill and Florida were projected as gore
states. It was over a hundred thousand there alone.
Don't get caught up in this hysteria. It is B, as in B, S, as in S.
