The idea of the electoral college was to avoid that stuff Doc. I for one don't want a system like what Parliamentary countries have ended up with, when the party that gets 15% versus the 10% of the vote that the other 30498508 parties get runs the whole country.

I am torn on this situation, though. Both arguments have merit. On the one hand Gore won an outright majority, but on the other hand Bush won about 30 states. Both have a just claim.

I guess my final opinion is "I dunno".
