"One of the results of this election may be the introduction of legislation to abolish the electoral college. "

It would have to be done by Constitutional Amendment, not legislation. It would require ratification by 38 states. In reality, you're going to have to find a few states that have low population and are willing to put all the political power in the hands of those who live in urban centers. I doubt you're going to find enough small states that are going to volutarily disenfranchise themselves because of a six sigma event. Also, I really find it hard to find it significant that Mr. Gore 'won' the popular vote by a margin of less than 2/10 of 1% of eligible voters. i find it much more significant that Mr. Bush won the popular vote in 29 of 50 states (30 of 51 if he carries FL).

Regards,

Barb
