Homestead mailing list

[Lynn Wigglesworth <lynnw1366 AT hotmail.com>]

I'm just not happy with the whole electoral college thing. Every vote 
DOESN'T count. I'm in PA, and my vote, through my elector, will go to 
Obama (he has a 9.5 point lead here), no matter who I vote for. The 
Electoral system makes elections into a game which someone can win even 
though more people voted for the other guy. But hey; I just got to hang 
up the phone on President Clinton...he only calls me when he wants 
something :-)
