  • Why don't Maine and Nebraska participate in the election process?

  • @BabyEater9000 do it the "norway way": We vote for our prime minister. He becomes the prime minister. We vote for a new mayor every fourth year, he becomes mayor. Democracy for the win!

  • it sounds like some complex legal fraud. shouldn't elections be a lot simpler process?

  • Look down to comment "VOTE RON PAUL 2012!" look right ad "Ron Paul 2012?" Vote here now" ,lol XD

  • This is how it works each candidate gives money to the electors and the candidate that gives the most wins. Because you can afford to bribe a an electoral collage but not all the people of the USA. 

  • do away with the electoral college .. it makes my vote NOT count.

  • Seems to be a serious problem with this. Candidate A could win in just over half the states by a small margin, but Candidate B won in the minority states by a landslide.

    Technically Candidate B got more votes nation-wide, but lost the election.
