If you are an American citizen, you have failed to understand that this nation is a federal republic, not a direct democracy. Perhaps there are night school classes in your area to help you to fill in the gaps in your education. --Tim May -- ---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---------:---- Timothy C.

He sounds like one of the victimized voters from Florida. Illiterate, uneducated people who are allowing themselves to be used to throw an election (or draw things out, as the Clinton/Gore administration tends to do). If we get rid of the Electoral College then we may as well throw out all the States and just call ourselves federal citizens (not that we are very far from that state of affairs anyway).

Why bother; amending the constitution is a thing of the past, interpreting it is in style. When CNN finds that the recount isn't getting ratings, they will simply start reporting, based on a legal correspondent Gretta van Sustren's constitutional reading, that Al Gore is the President. Within a week everyone will accept it and move on.
