Well, then you should grab a sign and start protesting to amend the Constitution. This is exactly the way a representative democratic republic is supposed to work. I don't think it is anti-democratic. Our system may not be perfect but I think it works pretty well. JLA

<All of the states are important. Yes, but all voters are not as important as other voters because of the electoral college. The electoral college is anti-democratic. You cannot refute that fact. The anti-democratic aspect of the electoral college will be discussed on a regular basis for the next four years. When Dubya gives his State of the Union message, everybody watching will be thinking: There is the guy who got elected with less votes than Al Gore. The election of 2000 has turned into an anti-democratic exercise. > Kenneth - When Bush is elected President, everybody watching will be thinking: This guy won 270+ votes from the Electoral College, and, per our Constitution, is President of the United States. It is Gore who is turning this into an anti-democratic exercise by trying to litigate himself into the White House. And you know it.
