    The electoral college is the only means by which all votes may be FAIRLY administered for all states.

    There’s apparently a matching senate resolution: S.J.Res.4 that seems to have a lot more action (on this site).

    I like the idea but a see a fundamental problem.

    We can not accurately count the votes now. Let alone trust these diebold voting machines that allow for the audit of the vote tally to be deleted. There has to be some level of redundancy here beyond these machines. There would have to be the ability for each and every voter to verify that their vote has indeed counted. As it stands now, we have no idea and are just expected to “trust” the system.

    With all the voting problems with just counting them……elections would be an ongoing thing….never ending……
