Any comments?
Yeah. That Electoral College must be a pretty fancy place. Odd how their students only work once every four years, and they never graduate.
For all of Alexander Hamilton's faults, he was still a hero in my eyes for giving his vote and even his life to prevent that disaster.
The states cut their own throats by allowing direct election of electors on a winner take all basis. But the firewall is still available if states wish to use it. South Carolina had the state legislature pick electors until 1860. Maine introduced the congressional district selection system in time for the 1972 election and Nebraska did so in time for the 1992 election.
Pennsylvania could have done the same this year. We had solid GOP majorities in both houses and a GOP governor pledged to sign it into law. The only thing which stopped it was hissy fit opposition from our asshat GOP chairman who was afraid that it would dilute his power on the national scene.
