Well I hope like hell we don't have the court cases this time. But as for the electoral college, sorry folks, it is in the constitution, that some think is outdated to which I disagree, that the states elect the president.
The framers of our constitution were geniuses, they were able to write something over 200 years ago, that still applies and is relevant today. Granted times change, but the constitution does not. When I started voting, Alabama didn't even have the president's name on the ballot, only the electors.
i got to disagree about the electoral. This was written back when we had 13 states...and a very small population so it worked. Now its rediculous that its like 5 states that can decide the election. Essentially if your voting in a blue state as a republican..your vote means nothing.
only 4 times has the popular vote been different then the electoral college outcome. thats pretty good i think
Ok, I think I am done discussing this one. think I will not resort to the petty insults.

If I understand the US system correctly, it's theoretically possible for one candidate to get 100% of the popular vote, and still lose the election?
Extremely unlikely, I admit, but the fact that it's even possible beggars belief.
