The electoral college is set up so states with smaller populations like Deleware, Hawaii, Wyoming, or Montana, for example, aren't smothered into insignificance by states like California, Texas and New York.

If the rules were changed when Bush won in 2000, it might be fair to say Bush "stole" the election. But they weren't, so it's an absurd allegation.

As I detailed in another topic, there is ample evidence that whatever allegation of Republican manipulation is made, there is concrete evidence of Democrats pressing for unfair manipulation of the election. And then some!


The Supreme Court made a decision along partisan lines in 2000. The conservative majority made a decision was good for only that one instance.


Fair play!
