<This is not even the first time in recent memory that the <"Will of the majority of Voters" was superseded in lieu of the "Will" of the Minority of Voters> as you put it. In 1992 a huge majority of voters wanted someone (anyone) other then Bill Clinton to be president,> Really?? In the 1992 Presidential Elections Clinton had 44,955,303 Bush had 39,103,872 Perot had 19,722,042 In the Electoral.. Clinton had 370 Bush had 168 Perot had ZERO So although Perot had almost 19% or the Popular vote. He received ZERO Electoral Votes.. No one could ever challenge the two bestowed Political Parties in this country with the Electoral System in place. That is how other so called "Democratic Republics" control who is in Power.. Oh! Sure they have Elections.. But who can legally win is limited by their current Political infrastructure.. This is not a Democracy!! <If your problem is with the fact that it is not a popular vote election, I think the timing of your complaint is a little suspect. If you were unhappy with the electoral college, I would think that the appropriate time to complain would have been before the election.> I voted for Perot in 1992,1996, I voted for Nader in 2000. My bagging of the Electoral College system is nothing new! I have been a sore loser for many years! Nuff said! PCSTEL
