Hillary Slams Electoral College in Wake of Bush
Win

Less than 72 hours after she won her U.S. Senate race, first
lady Hillary Clinton said she thinks the Electoral College that
is expected to certify President-elect George W. Bush's victory
in December should be disbanded.

"I believe strongly that in a democracy we should respect the
will of the people, and to me it's time to do away with the
Electoral College and move to the popular election of our
president," Clinton told the Associated Press Friday morning as
she launched her victory tour upstate.

Clinton said she was ready to co-sponsor legislation to
eliminate the Electoral College; a measure that was first
introduced in Congress seven years ago.

Thursday's ballot recount in Florida put Bush ahead by 327 votes
in the contest for the state's 25 electoral votes, giving him a
margin of victory of eleven Electoral College votes. But Gore
retains a razor-thin nationwide margin of less than 100,000 in
the popular vote.

On Thursday Mrs. Clinton told reporters that she had no plans to
seek the White House herself in 2004.

But six years before she launched her Senate bid, she told
gossip columnist Liz Smith that she would never seek elected
office at any level.
