Electoral college

California is considering changing it's electoral college rules from a winner take all (55 votes) to an allocation based the percentage of votes.

On it's face, it sounds great, especially for republicans. But if all the states adopted this procedure, it could prove to be a nightmare in future presidential elections.

Think about it. In the 2000 election, the popular vote was about as even as you could get. But the electoral college isolated potential voting issues to Florida, New Mexico and Wisconsin.

If Gore only needed to swing one or two electoral votes here or there it could have opened the entire country into a recount. You thought Florida was ugly, think about millions of attorneys in every state trying to pull off a swing of only one electoral vote per state. It would be a disaster.

By the way, I'm still waiting for all the vote to be counted in that 2000 election. Libs like to talk about winning the popular vote but there were millions of absentee ballots never counted by the states. Most of those votes were military which would have swung wildly Bush and finally put a lid on all those whack jobs.
