So who voted ??

I agree with you. If somone wins the popular vote they should win the presidency as well. I'm saying that I think you should vote whether you like the electoral college or not. I'm not sure how boycotting the election because you don't like the electoral college will help your voice be heard. Although there are flaws in the system, we still need to exercise our fundamental right to vote in order for a democracy to function.

I am a conscientious objector.

UGH the electoral college makes me really mad. people say "well, its been this way forever." WELL, back in the day, they didnt have machines that counted votes. the president won by electoral votes ONLY because they had to hand-count them back then, then it would take forever to deliver the results. i'm guessing now they dont realize we have machines, phones and computers. @!&^%@!%# i'm not very pleased with the whole electoral college crap at all.

*grumble*

Voted - Voted Bush

well atleast we agree on something Astra :wink: BUSH!!!

and BTW if you dont vote .. you dont have any room to wine about who won ..lost whatever

I am w/ MacWin. Don't get me started on the race in 2000.

Being middle class, a women, gay, and having a teenage son who will have to register for the draft soon I have to say I voted for the only logical person for my shoes,
Kerry

But what is most important is that everyone who could vote did.

I voted for Kerry. I have been really unhappy with bush on the environmental standpoint. Also, I've been unhappy with Bush in just about everything he's done.

Surprisingly, Macwin, Co had a proposition up to change the way the electral college votes so that it reflect the popular vote more.. and it was voted down. CO is a winner takes all electoral vote state.

At any rate, I predict we won't hear the end of this for months.

Well I didn't vote but both my parents voted Bush. And I agree with them.

I figured we would, mainly because your signature is one of the best I've ever seen.

I voted, and of course voted for Kerry -- like Jotay, the only way I could. However, I did it knowing my vote wouldn't count. My district is so Republican that ALL my local races gave me a choice of Republican incumbent or write-in candidate, not a single Democratic or Independent challenger. But I spent my two hours in line anyway.
