I agree....but I would bet that the biggest majority of our people don’t understand that. As for the Electoral College, don’t they only have the names of Obama and McCain?
No, they can vote for any eligible citizen of the U.S. Its been done several times before., most recently in 1960. Votes were cast for Sen. Byrd in Mississippi and Virginia, even though only Nixon and Kennedy were candidates.
Many here assume that the Electoral College was set up for a two party system. It was not. If 3 or 4 candidates ran and no one received the majority of the votes, the EC can pick from them and elect their choice.
