Thanks, opalapril. Actually a pretty interesting and significant case now that I look at it - as you point out, it certainly undermines the common beliefs about who potentially could elect a President. I predict it will find its way into the next edition of the textbook. <g> Peter

OT Re: "In 1891 the Michigan legislature changed state law pertaining to the election of Presidential Electors. In effect, Michigan abandoned its previous practice and split the Electors into separate districts." and "sued...asking the state court to order the Michigan secretary of state to revise the ballot so all Electors would be elected at large, as had been Michigan custom." As a Michigan voter in 1976, It's interesting to note that in that Ford/Carter election, it was widely reported in Michigan that Carter had won one northern district by a mere five votes, and that had Ford overcome those five votes, it would have swung the whole state and the nation to him for President. This country being a Republic dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals before any democratic majorities, it should little matter what figureheads are elected. Sadly, that is not the case today. Freedom Works, Dan B
