Me too actually, but only with computerized semi-random redistricting *NM* Isaac Send a noteboard - 06/11/2012 05:38:25 AM
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.

Could Ohio Kill the Electoral College? Joel - 05/11/2012 04:43:48 PM 701 Views
Well, let's hope Romney takes Pennsylvania, too, so we don't have to worry about this. *NM* Tom - 05/11/2012 05:46:22 PM 103 Views
you're delusional if you think romney is going to carry PA moondog - 05/11/2012 05:58:16 PM 275 Views
I do not think even the GOPs massive PA vote suppression effort is enough to accomplish that. Joel - 05/11/2012 06:38:05 PM 374 Views
It's not impossible. I roughly reversed engineered Silver's tipping point simulation... Burr - 05/11/2012 11:06:16 PM 424 Views
It was not impossible, but was highly improbable. Joel - 12/11/2012 07:20:10 PM 285 Views
that seems to be what all the liberals keeo tellying themselves random thoughts - 06/11/2012 06:21:47 PM 235 Views
yard signs do not usually translate to actual voter sentiment moondog - 06/11/2012 06:23:39 PM 212 Views
You were saying? Joel - 12/11/2012 07:52:35 PM 218 Views
what? directly vote for president? COMMUNISM! moondog - 05/11/2012 06:01:00 PM 278 Views

Seems like everything is communism these days, even/especially things that are not. Joel - 05/11/2012 06:56:55 PM 255 Views
Ugh. Sareitha Sedai - 05/11/2012 07:23:37 PM 363 Views
It is an appallingly large number. Joel - 05/11/2012 07:40:47 PM 258 Views
A simple solution: proportional allocation of electors from each state with 15 votes or more. Tom - 05/11/2012 08:34:08 PM 266 Views
I prefer 1 EV per house district, with 2 EVs going to state winners Larry - 05/11/2012 08:40:50 PM 366 Views
it would certainly make the races more interesting..... moondog - 05/11/2012 09:09:24 PM 220 Views
If not for gerrymandering I would consider this the ideal solution. Joel - 05/11/2012 09:26:01 PM 239 Views
But in that system, the small states would be bypassed completely Tom - 05/11/2012 09:55:49 PM 273 Views
You mean even more than they already are (outside of the NH primaries)? Larry - 05/11/2012 11:17:14 PM 230 Views
Me too actually, but only with computerized semi-random redistricting *NM* Isaac - 06/11/2012 05:38:25 AM 94 Views
why would there need to be a nation-wide recount? don't the states keep their own tallies? moondog - 05/11/2012 09:08:04 PM 268 Views
What if none of the states were close enough for a recount, but the country as a whole was? Legolas - 05/11/2012 09:23:33 PM 229 Views
i suppose at that point the Supreme Court would have every justification to hear the case.... moondog - 06/11/2012 06:07:06 PM 335 Views
What Legolas said; if we did it by national popular vote, recounts would need to be national. Joel - 05/11/2012 09:34:30 PM 328 Views
I like that idea, though I have long felt Larrys idea of using Congressional Districts is better. Joel - 05/11/2012 09:22:49 PM 390 Views
So you undermined your own argument from the start... Tom - 05/11/2012 10:01:07 PM 240 Views
i've always favored district lines by ZIP code myself moondog - 05/11/2012 10:05:59 PM 320 Views
Um... WHAT? Republicans have 9/13 CDs in NC. Joel - 12/11/2012 07:52:16 PM 360 Views
But why do people bleive big states need more power? random thoughts - 06/11/2012 06:31:22 PM 274 Views
I was not asked but will answer anyway: They do not. Joel - 12/11/2012 07:45:26 PM 387 Views
