Tim, I'm a Republican and a Bush Supporter, My point is I think the way we elect presidents is just fine. Sorry if it came off confusing, but I think each State should have a minimum vote and the current system does that. Milo, Just for the record, it was your fellow Bush supporters who questioned the need for the EC...and that only came up when it looked like Bush might win the popular vote and not the EC votes. BTW thanks again for the CC updates this AM. ted

It wasn't confuseing at all. Perhaps my post was. I understood your arguement that each state should have a minimum vote. I was argueing against that idea. The states themsevles are not voteing the people are. Why should Wyoming's votors effect the determination of the next president more then Fairfax County VA, when Wyoming has less people? There easily can be as much difference in opinion and outlook between the people of Fairfax County and the people of Richmond as there is between the people of Wyoming and the people of its neighboring states. What reason is there to make sure Wyoming has a minimum effect on the election but not Fairfax County? Tim
