Decision 2004

Umm, two things.
1: Cupcake, i believe, it says you live in North Carolina.................
2: I think that the electoral college is kinda BS. From what i remember from my us history class like a year or two ago, it was mostly created because most americans werent greatly informed on politics, information didnt travel real fast, so people couldnt make as good of decisions based on the small information that they received. And, I feel that the majority should be the ones to tell who the president is going to be. I dont think that States should either be entirely for one canidate or the other. If in one state 40,000 people voted for Bush, and 30,000 people voted for Kerry, then Bush would get that state. Lets say that state has 5 people in the electorial college. A different state, 10,000 people vote for kerry, and 5,000 people vote for Bush. Kerry gets one person. Next state, Kerry gets 15,000 votes, Bush gets 5,000. Kerry gets one more person in the electorial college. Now, Bush would have 50,000 votes, and 5 people in the electoral college. Kerry would have 55,000 votes, 2 people in the electoral college.

Fair??? not really. By the way, I would rather see Bush get reelected. But Im 17, so i dont matter, haha.
