    I trust your factor, notwithstanding the U. S. gadget to pick the President is by ability of the electoral college. Supposedly, maximum members of the school vote the way their factors vote, yet they could and do vote for who they choose, as you spoke of in 2000. Edit... Cookie Monster... the question changed into about prevailing the universal vote vs the electoral college. It did no longer have something to do with Florida. can't Republicans study and comprehend? Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh!
