56. If only California had it in 2000, there wouldn't have been "recounts"!
It would have already been over with close to half of the votes from California going to Republicans and everything else being equal, then Florida wouldn't have made the difference.

NO! There's absolutely NO way that California should *start* this system without everyone doing it at once. As I noted, going "half-way" will only distort it worse against us. I'm not saying it's GOOD now, but the only way to make it better is if EVERY state goes by popular vote, not just the big "Blue" states and the other smaller red states will then give more votes to the Republicans along with our "fair" giving of votes to the Republicans, which will have this race lost before it starts.

Just CAN'T do it halfway! Don't get snookered by this crap. It's right to argue on doing a popular vote in principal now, but until everyone's ready to play by the same rules, don't do it.
