Imagine if our presidential elections were based on the popular vote, and it was close. The candidates would've been challenging it in the court system, not only in one state, but in precinct after precinct

Oh, and this is not complicated, and the technology has been there for years.

Each state turns in their votes. Very simple. Not complicated. One vote per man. Majority rules.

It's a really simple, American concept.

The electoral college is an American concept. It's written into the U.S. Constitution.

But, if you oppose it, then you'll probably be happy to know that some states have found a way around it with national popular vote bills. So, you may get your wish soon enough. Time for me to go right now. I'll check in again sometime this weekend.
