How about a quite possible 269-269 timebomb tie in Nov. 2008 ???
Abolish the EVIL and super-dangerous Electoral College See 1860 and the about 620,000 killed in 1861-1865 as a direct result of the minority rule election of Prez. Lincoln.
Uniform definition of Elector-voter in the U.S.A.
NONPARTISAN direct nominations (via nominating petitions) and elections.
Approval Voting – vote for 1 or more, highest wins.
I think every state should spilt its electoral votes by Congressional District with the two Senatorial electoral votes going to the statewide winner.
Half the votes in half the gerrymander districts is about 25 percent ANTI-Democracy minority rule.
All 3 gerrymander systems in the U.S.A. regime (House, Senate, Electoral College) are corrupt and EVIL minority rule systems.
ALL 50 States have gerrymander legislatures.
About 99.99 plus percent of folks are brain dead ignorant about gerrymander math due to the EVIL rotted public schools and the know-it-all media MORONS.
Gerrymandering of Congressional districts does make it unwise to use them as a basis for Electoral College votes. That said, I need to point out that not all 50 states are gerrmandered. See Iowa’s Congressional districts here

and state senate districts here

They’re drawn by a non-partisan panel and look nothing like what you typically find in other states.
