  • @WhiteCamry Suppose California and New York had that system as well,Bush would have gotten at least 45 votes from those states.

  • I've read books on this subject since 1965.IT WORKS!.

  • She explained this topic perfectly..and if you dont understand what she is saying ..i agree that you ARE a RETARD

  • If you didn't understand this, you are a retard.

  • A Phd and she has no idea what shes talking about.

  • The real problem with the Florida recount in 2000 wasn't the hanging chads and butterfly ballots but something more abstract - the winner-take all rule which awarded all 25 Florida electors to Bush.

    ME and NE choose their electors differently - only two statewide, the rest by congressional district. If FL had this in 2000 then any recount would have had only 3 electors at stake. Bush would have received only 14 electors when he needed 24 to win. Gore would have won the election.

  • bottom line is that this idiot is saying " we the people " no longer matter, the electoral voters make the choice...our votes don't count..they use the term representaion as a smoke screen to fool us on what is really going on...

  • Was she the worst person available to explain this topic?

  • the electoral college is all bullshit, that's just another par of the circus every four years. I's all crap....red, whit and blue crap.

  • Plz tell me if its just me or did she just run around in circle giving little to no information about the subject at hand well painting a positive picture of it by saying its what the founding fathers would have wanted over and over
