Wait a second. The federal method of voting, through the electoral college, (article 2 section 1 and the 12th amendment) is already a simple majority vote.
It was already found to be flawed and that's why it was amended. I think we need another constitutional amendment. We have hundreds of years of history to show that the electoral college isn't working. I mean hell, the members of the electoral college don't even have to vote they way their state does, and that has already happened in the past. There have also been flip flop incidents where an elector has voted one way, and then changed their vote. The set up of the legislature should be such that it prohibits the kinds of population based strong arm bullshit you are talking about. Remember the president doesn't draft legislation, he only either signs it into law or vetoes it. That's all. This debate is only about the executive branch. If you want to talk about the legislative branch, I think we aught to have the governor appoint members of congress. It would give us a level of control over the legislature we don't currently have. They should also be able to remove them from office and change their reps at will. -- Timothy Heald Analyst, Architect, Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: 202-228-8372 C: 703-300-3911 -----Original Message----- From: Nick McClure [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 5:08 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: Seems the administration lied about the trailers too Yeah, it is bad.
