You make some valid and very important points in your reply, but do you not think the people of the United States today would go literally ballistic if we kept having presidential elections where one party kept winning the popular vote, but lost the Electoral College? God forbid we should ever have two elections in a row where the popular vote winner lost the White House, and I think we would have a revolution on our hands..... In my opinion, we have simply been very lucky this sort of election fiasco has not happened before in "modern times"..... As for recounting the whole country in the event of a "too close to call" popular vote (should we get rid of the electoral college), the better solution would be to have everyone vote again after "mini-campaigns" of two weeks by the presidential contenders. That should eliminate the tie, as more people swing their vote one way or the other. I respect our Founding Fathers very much, but in this particular area of debate still believe their original system needs to be changed for the future health of the nation. Yogi
