I don't know why the leftists are worried about the Presidential race
this year so much that they want to change the way we vote.  They've
already got it locked up anyway.  Whoever wins they'll be getting a
liberal in the White House.  Maybe they are looking down the road to
2012 where they know all that will be necessary is to win CA, NY, TX,
FL, PA and maybe one or two more states.  There was a reason the
Founding Fathers made it difficult to make changes to the Constitution.
They wanted to make sure people really thought the process through
rather than act on their emotions.

If John R. Koza gets his way, American voters will never again have to
wonder about the workings of the Electoral College and why it decides
who sits in the White House.

Koza is behind a push to have states circumvent the odd political math
of the Electoral College and ensure that the presidency always goes to
the winner of the popular vote.

Basically, states would promise to award their electoral votes to the
candidate with the most support nationwide, regardless of who carries
each particular state.

"We're just coming along and saying, 'Why not add up the votes of all
50 states and award the electoral votes to the 50-state winner?'" said
Koza, chairman of National Popular Vote Inc. "I think that the
candidate who gets the most votes should win the office."

The proposal is aimed at preventing a repeat of the 2000 election, when
Al Gore got the most votes nationwide but George W. Bush put together
enough victories in key states to win a majority in the Electoral
College and capture the White House.
