Mom:

Yes, crazy days and crazy nights… The only positives that have resulted from this historical race is that Hillary won, and the effort to impeach GW Bush will begin in roughly two and a half months. It is in no doubt that Florida’s elderly (not to mention Nader) cost Gore the Oval Office, but also that Bush knew something that no one else did – that he “won” Florida. He knew it from the get-go. Did he rig the election – well, all elections are rigged in a sense, as fraud is prevalent in every local polling place. What everyone has learned, and that I have been stressing (in kPa) for years, is the abolition of the electoral college. Formed as a safety-guard against an unruly majority, the college stands between the nation and a direct democracy. The points toward not abolishing such an outdated system is the same aspect the founders looked at before – do we want the ley person to elect the President? Yes, and no. Fifty million people voted for Gore; fifty million people voted for Bush. Neither got the majority of the popular vote, so who wins – the man who gets the most? We just stated that the popular system is fraudulent; halfway through the re-count, they have added over 2000 votes, and that is just in Florida. What about Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee, New York – they are bound to be off by a few thousand also, and California? The system is flawed, and the electoral college protects that – in the end, the House makes sure the election went smoothly, but when it is down to 1000 or 2000 votes this way, that way, any such way (3600 elderly Jewish voted for Buchanan!!!!!!) there is no way to protect the people’s obvious choice for President, except with a new abbreviated electoral college.

Here it is, for the first time on paper (well, e-paper anyway), my plan for the new electoral system. The number of electoral votes in a state is equal to the number of House of Representatives from that state plus the number of Senators (e.g. New York: 31 Reps + 2 Sens = 33 Electoral Votes). That would stay the same. The big difference is that the number of Electoral votes the candidate would get from a state, for example New York, would be the percentage of popular vote multiplied by the number of electoral votes from the state. Who ever has the most points (plain and simple) wins!

Example 1 – New York:

33 Electoral Votes;

Gore – 60%, Bush – 35%, Nader – 4%, Buchanan – 1%;

Gore would get 60% of 33 (19.80), Bush 35% of 33 (11.55), etc.

I know this would create a decimal game but this system would combine the best of two systems. A straight popular vote won’t work since it won’t protect us from the mass hysteria that takes over our nation, and the electoral vote robs us of our honor and dignity, and most importantly, our intelligence.

The system I just proposed would eliminate the “battleground” states. The seniors in Florida, the “swing” voters of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, will not be deciding our President – we all will decide.

I’ve got Fluid Mechanics in 12 minutes, so I am going to have to wrap this up. I will calculate the winner of the Presidency by my system, and see who really won the election.

By the way, Florida (under my system) would be obsolete: its 50-50; both candidates would receive 12.5 votes. And also, the number 270 would become leave our society forever – thank god.

Bye…
