The electoral college is not valid for the modern "United" States...really, it isn't...too many times, 50.0000001% gets rounded to 100% as far as it goes...if the electoral college could still split its vote (can they still do that? In several elections in the 1800s, not every member voted the way the majority did in his state, and i figure that more accurately represented the results) then I would be happy...
Overall, though, let's face it, people...two party systems are hopelessly obsolete when taking modern people into account...they're bound to just get more and more and more deadlocked....
Oh, and back to the original topic...I'm DEFINITELY in favor of the fall election being overseen...and yes, I'm a pinko-liberal communist...
