John,

Re: "I'm not good at mathematical probabilities, but i'm sure the probability of
getting a tie at 269 votes each is much more likely than getting a tie at whatever
number of individual votes their are nationwide."

My point was if you used the popular vote and the election was close, then you
would have to re-count the entire country. The last election, they only had to
re-count in close states. So in a close election, the popular vote could
actually cause more problems and confusion.

Make It So,
Yousef
