Interesting view I thought the real reason for the electoral college system was to preserve the two party system .. didn't Perot get 18% of the popular vote but not a single electoral vote as he failed to carry a single state ?? If all electoral college votes were apportioned according to the percent of the popular vote that each candidate received .. many candidates would fail to acquire the required 270 votes to win .. throwing elections to the House .. any election with a 3rd party candidate would guarantee a House decision .. Triff ..
