6. It's a red herring to get rid of the electoral vote. Don't fall for it. IMHO

it is far easier anyhow if there is theft (which is not a known fact, as I blame Nader for 2000 in Nov.2000 over the theft that Nader allowed 5 weeks later).

this all is a red herring, announced years in advance to depress the vote or get rid of the electoral college

btw, Virginia is not a blue state alot of the time
and Texas will be blue
therefore the constants won't remain constant

so, IMHO it's a transaprent red herring all the way around.
