The Electoral College is the PRIMARY vehicle used to steal elections...

[TruthIsAll]

Without the EC, there would be NO states for Bush to steal...
Without the EC, there would be NO state election officials for Diebold to bribe...
Without the EC, there would be NO requirement for massive fundraising to mislead voters with concentrated advertising lies in swing states...
Without the EC, the media would NO longer have the power to call the election early in states to influence the outcome, like Fox and NBC did in 2000...

1. By both parties, nonetheless!

[linazelle]

2. Very informative...I never knew much about the EC

I'm bookmarking this so that I can learn more. Thank you for all the work you do too. It has to pay off for all of us.

[ulTRAX]

3. You Miss The Point

I think you confuse the EC with state-run elections. The EC is a separate issue. It's an anti-democratic vote-weighing scheme that gives SOME citizens a bigger vote than others. The vote of a citizen living in Wyoming weighs 3.5X that of a citizen living in California.

You can have 100% voter age participation... 100% vote count accuracy... 100% safe voting... any and all voting reforms that you can dream of... and as long as we have an anti-democratic system... especially without a runoff provision, then the vote LOSER can still "WIN".

[nodictators]

4. Yes and No. Look at Florida 2004 and California 2003

In Florida, the presidential race is close, according to the polls. With a bit of rigging and Repub-friendly touchscreen machines, it'll probably wind up in the Bush column.

In California 2003, Schwarzenegger probably would have won over both the Davis recall and Bustamante in a clean election. Davis and Bustamante were slaughtered in the media. However, it appears to me that the election was also rigged. Schwarzenegger won over in a landslide over Bustamante with a 1.5 million vote margin, with 9 million ballots cast.

The national media has covered up the huge rates of uncounted ballots. In the recall voting, a Yes/No choice, 4.6% of the ballots were uncounted. In the gubenatorial voting, 8.1% of the ballots were uncounted. These high rates are signs of a rigged election.

Furthermore, the Dem counties, which had superior demographics in both income and educational attainment, had more than 10% of their ballots uncounted. The Repub counties had about 5.5% uncounted.

The lesson here is that huge vote margins can be attained by apparent rigging and media attacks in large-population states like California, and help carry the nation in a non-Electoral College system.
