I don’t see the nightmare or the stalemate. Our presidential “election” is actually 51 separate smaller elections. The race is for the most electoral votes. The popular vote “winner” is really a media creation.
Besides, I think Medved’s doomsday scenario where Obama gets a significantly higher percentage of the popular vote is unlikely.
I was surprised to see that Michael Medved wrote this.
Michael Medved is conservative. He’s one of the leading voices on Salem Radio Network talk shows.
Why is a conservative worried about problems with the electoral vote vs. popular vote?
To turn it around, would Obama and Democrats have any angst if Obama lost the popular vote but won the electoral vote????
