What I want is for someone to finally explain to me the reason for this entire Electoral College system. I passed US Government in high school, but apparently I missed the lecture when it was explained why we don't just use a very simple "most votes wins" system. If the majority of Americans vote for a particular candidate <coughGorecough> how can it be possible for the other guy/gal to win?
I just don't get it.
I'll be over at the Federal Building renewing my passport and getting my 4-year visitor's visa to Australia if anyone can explain this to me...
