Prop. 4136

By being away in Greece for a week, I have been out of contact with much of the various news agencies of the world. When I got back last night/this morning and sat down to look at what I had missed, I was confronted with a deluge of pending election lawsuits. It seems that, in anticipation of another close election, everyone (not just the people running or their parties, but private individuals as well) is groping for a slip-up he or she can sue over. Moreover, Colorado has gone so far as to introduce a proposal that would split the state’s electoral votes in the event of close results. I hear more and more people calling for an abolition of the electoral college in favor of a popular vote. When I look at a map, that just doesn’t seem like a good idea. Too many people are packed into the little areas that have become a culture pad for liberalism. No, I think if we’re going to change the system, we need to do it based on something that really matters, land. Now, I’m not saying we should return to the time when only land-owning males could vote. Not at all, that wouldn’t be PC. (And you all know how I strive to stay PC) I’m saying that whichever candidate wins over the most land in the good old USofA should be the winner. The easiest way to divide the race down would be to make the counties responsible for declaring a winner in their county. Since the race is already broken down into county districts, it would be much easier to facilitate this type of change then one to a nation wide popular vote, which would have an enormous margin for error. Here’s a link to county-by-county election results from last year, tell me that you don’t agree.

By the way, major props to whoever can tell me where I got the number 4136
