I have a quibble with the article. It doesn't address the way low population states are spotted (overall) a few extra electors as compared with high population states. This intentionally skews the overall number of electors and the allotment of electors for dense population areas. Doesn't that seem to make our system a bit less democratic than it could be? A bit less fair? A bit less accurate in regards to the intent of the design of the system? xponent The Count Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
