1) In a complete flip-flop, Gore probably ends up winning the popular vote but may lose the electoral vote.. I wonder if Democrats will be as vocal about the unjustness of it all as the Republicans appeared to be going to do. Will there be an attempt to get electors to change their votes on the "moral ground" that Gore won the POP by the Democrats, as was threatened by the Republicans if the position had been reversed? There is another reason for the Electoral College besides trying to even out the voting power between the larger vs smaller states. But I can't remember the reason...I learned about it in the 8th grade. I will look it up and see what it says. ted Edit. Actually there is no other reason now for the electoral college. Back then, it was deemed necessary because the American electorate was felt not to be quite ready for a democracy. Of course now with more than 200 years of experience, I guess we are about ready to go on our own. LOL So to answer your question, I think we should get rid of the electoral college..the sooner, the better...like today. <g>
