You may not like the middle of the country but the people who live ther are entitled to have a say in things. The EC functions as it did when this was a small, compact country with an equally small population. I can't think of another "modern" country where the head of government is selected by other than who gets the most votes. I also don't think sparsely populated states should have the same number of U.S. Senators as California, Texas, Florida, New York, et cetera. There's no reason why the vote of an individual in North Dakota should have the same number of U.S. Senators to access as an individual in Texas. === Actually there is a reason - it ensures that all regions of the country are represented equally - exactly as intended. Actually, all the EC does is represent real estate, not people. -- *Lock Trump Up!* |

The people elect their Senators and Congressmen. The state governing body chooses the electors. The state can choose how they select the electors. The electors in most states, do not have to vote for their candidate. California electors only have to vote for their candidate on the first two ballots. After that they are free to choose. For someone who claims a better education than any other here, you are sorely lacking in practical knowledge. I find Fat Harry lacking in a lot of ways. |

Trump's lawyers in his cases to "overturn" election results are getting their asses kicked by lawyers who are not impressed by the arguments and lack of evidence being presented. I think Trump is running scared...his protection from federal criminal indictments ends 20 January and of course the states are free to pursue him, as they are. I presume Trump can resign a couple of days early and have Pence pardon him of any or all federal crimes, as Gerry Ford did for Nixon, but that's no defense against state charges. Oh, and if Trump, after being tossed out on the curb, tries to sell any secret or classified info to raise cash, he can be charged and prosecuted for treason. Last photos I saw of Trump showed him without his orange makeup and hair dye. I got a haircut last week and asked the lady doing the cutting how long she thought it took each day for Trump to have his remaining hair combed over and sprayed, and his makeup applied, and she said "about an hour." Crikey. Herring's president at work, eh? They deserve each other. -- *Lock Trump Up!* |

I don't see much so called "liberal media" in Arizona or Georgia. What happened there? |
