The thing I hate most about the electoral college is the fact that districts are simply chosen by legislators so that votes in districts with unequal populations only count for about .8 rather than 1 vote due to the difference.

@S201676 I heard whoever has the bluest blood always wins.

@RMCrowley In the past there have been 3 or more candidates that won electoral votes. Consider 1968: Nixon (R) beat Humphrey (D) and Wallace (American Independent). Wallace, running on a segregationist platform, won 5 states in the deep south.Other elections with strong 3rd candidates were 1948, 1912, and several in the 1800s.Even today there are more than 2 choices: Libertarian Party, Constitution Party, Green Party, and the Socialist Party - all these were on the ballot as well in 2008.

@danielharmonizer Its one hell of a system too, there is no result like money fueled results!

This goofy system of the Electoral College all started from the 18th century smaller states worried about being stomped & swallowed by bigger states.So our Founding Fathers slapped together the College to influence the smaller states to join in the Constitution. Personally, I think the smaller states were being dorks! I don't see any reason to continue with the College.Also, the College usually corresponds with the popular count, except for two elections. One of them was 2000!

@RMCrowley not usually, anyway

We all know there is not three choices!

@lgp490well in germany, we had called the eastern part german democratic republic...^^ so i think im maybe not the right one to complain about you calling the usa a democracy^^ so maybe it is human nature to call all forms of government democracy...^^
