I’ll stick with the electoral college.

Arias reported that 25 states must pass the bill before it can be considered on a national level.


This is a factually incorrect statement. There is no provision for 25 states passing such laws in order to be considered on a national level.

The Electoral College is defined in the constitution. States can change how they allocate their electoral votes, but there’s no provision anywhere in the law that 25 states can initiate a change.

This afternoon Rasmussen was on Fox and said that McCain led Obama in the national poll of the popular vote, but Obama had states with more than the 270 needed to win the electoral college vote ... wanna see the Dems reconsider this notion ?

Ditto. Leave the electoral college alone.
