Graff, Harvey ; Well, I think the Electoral College is not democratic and creates grotesque imbalances in the weights of votes, depending on which states the voters are. The new rules being passed in Republican ruled states make Democracy a farce. They can win whatever happens.

What you write now is not what you wrote earlier. That's what I responded to, Laurie. The Electoral College resulted from the compromises in the 1787 Constitutional Convention, long before the Rep Party of the 1860s which bears no resemblance to today's party. Redistricting in VA, which just turned Rep., is considered fair unlike my home state of Ohio for example. So we can't "just say that our voting system is rigged . . . and has been for years." We need to distinguish state, Congressional, and judicial matters. I'm done for today.

Thank God!
I beg your pardon....
