[Sherman Logan]

Where did I indicate a desire to get rid of the Electoral College?

I merely pointed out that it has never functioned as originally intended. Do you disagree?

Your mechanism comes into effect only if the President elect has died at the time of his inauguration. There is no mechanism for determining whether a candidate meets the requirements for him to be on the ballot.

The EC is the mechanism intended by the Founders, but of course it is only a pale shadow of what they intended it to be.

1st rule of interpretation...you have to be able to read it correctly. Go back & read “JUST” the “BOLD PRINT”
