If not for the electoral college, John Kerry would have become President.

Not true. Bush beat Kerry in the popular vote. However, without the electoral college, we would have had Al Gore for President (shudder).

I stand corrected.  Good principle, but I used a bad example.  Details, details, ... they can bite you.
