re: their votes were accepted anyway.
It's hard for me to believe that anyone is going to accept a decision made that way, by one or two rogue electors ignoring their state's voters. This is exactly the kind of situation (a confused, chaotic non-decision, with a virtual tie, and both sides able to argue that they won) that, in most other countries, would result in a civil war, or the army stepping in. It is really a miracle that the country is going through this in such a calm, peaceful, methodical fashion. I recently watched the TV series, "History of Britain", and, even in that country, most changes in power for most of their history were bloody affairs. |
