The problem is -- the way this is ending up, the intentions of people in 4 heavily Democratic Florida counties will count MORE than the intentions of people in the rest of the nation. This is the mathematical truth of what's happening -- it's no longer 1 person 1 vote in this election. It's 1 person 1 vote if you live in one of those 4 microscopically examined Florida counties, but it’s 1 person ~0.99 votes if you live anywhere else. That's the mathematical effect of what's occurring down there right now. The value of everyone else’s vote is diminished. This is the death of democracy.

I am not saying that votes for any candidate count less - just that people who wear loafers instead of lace shoes not because of comfort, but because laces offer too complex a mathmatical problem for them should have their votes count less - whoever the vote for.
