I have to say that I am glad to see that I am not the only one who tends to
bring politics and personal "opinion" onto this august site!
Sorry, but I just couldn't resist!

The electoral college has its arguments both ways.

And as for my comment to Jane, I think it was a proportional response.

But as none of this has anything to do trauma or critical care medicine,
I'll refrain from further comment.

Very true, but I think the fairest system of all would simply to be take a
"majority rule" approach so that it is clear who the winner is and who the
losers are.  This would not be much of a problem at all given all the
current ability to report districts quickly.  That is all I am concerned
with, regardless of whether my side wins or loses just so long as it happens
fairly.

BTW, let's keep the "further evidence" comments to a minimum....no need to
pick people apart simply because you and I may or may not disagree with
them.

"A firefighter is at once the most fortunate and the least fortunate of men.
He's a man who saves lives because he has seen too much death. He's a gentle
man because he has seen the awesome power of violence out of control. He
doesn't preach the brotherhood of man. He lives it."-  Author Unknown
