Let me see. Would the Dems be more able to cheat their way into the Presidency? That's all I want to know.

I might favor going with strictly a popular vote for our Presidential elections.

But....
I would not support it unless:

1. The polls were opened for 24 hours and at the exact same time in every state. IE open at 0100 in NY, 0200 in IL, 0300 in CO, 0400 in CA an so on. And close of course at the exact same time 24 hour later.

2. ANYONE caught conducting exit polls would be subject to election tampering charges and serve 1 to 5 years in prison if convicted.

3. Any Media outlet “Projecting” winners/losers in election returns PRIOR to the closing of polls would be subject to same said Election tampering charges and prison terms.

4. Primary elections would be conducted in the same manner except 3 or 4 primary elections would be held monthly starting with the first Tuesday in April with the parties choosing how they would weed out the non-contenders before their conventions. Caucuses would be outlawed.

5. Surely others could come up with some more good ideas to make 1 man 1 vote a viable alternative to the Main Stream Media, the New Hampshire voters, and the Iowa Caucus Controllers picking the Presidential candidates for the whole country.

Yes. Four word: Big City Dead Vote.

PS Whatdayathink about all our (Buckeye) #1 ratings in the major rag sheets? And any comments on that train wreck (already) of a coach at the state up north?
