i like your response. you're not acting like a typical internet dunce, by tearing down a mans character. all you did was portray your opinion. you might think its silly i'm pointing this out, but it's really rare to find an honest opinion expressed in this forum, or many others for that matter.

i think the system we've got right now is pretty good. although i think the electorial college is a bit dated. i think an instant runoff would be better.

i respect others opinions, but here in this MUSIC forum, i am certain that some others dislike all the politically influenced threads. so i try to keep my politics at a minimum, but today is election day, so i guess we can overlook all of the poli talk.

It's all silly anyway, Electoral votes were not meant to decide the President, it was a means of showing an overwhelming support for a popular grassroots leader.
Remember the 'Founding Fathers' based the US govt on the idea that revolutions could occur. In the case that entrenched aristocracy took over the US, the electoral vote system would allow the people to forcibly put an outsider to the system into the Presidency.
For "normal" elections, they assumed it would be impossible for a candidate to get over half of the votes so the Presidency would go to appointment by Congress. This is of course circumvented by the 2 party system forcing the American voters to vote for only 2 candidates vs the dozens originially intended.
So...... in a nutshell, the system wasn't made to elect the President so that's why it doesn't work well. The whole of US Presidency is based on what's basically a contingency plan.
