Archangel1,

I suppose that I am stuck in the rut of, one person, one vote.

The electoral college, the folks that actually cast the ballots, who are they, how are they picked? Each state makes up its own rules and as it goes along they are often changed when the results are not inline with the status quo.

Popular vote-electoral vote, there are too many variables and that opens the whole process up to be corrupted. As we have been witness to in the past.

Has this democratic republic, this representative republic and its checks and ballances designed to stop tyranny protected us from what is now upon us?
