[EM] Quick elimination of useless rules: my Meta-rules

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

25.2 percent of the voters defacto elected the U.S. President and Vice 
President (Clinton and Gore) in the 1996 election (in 25 States and D.C. with 
270 of 538 electoral votes in the so-called "Electoral College").

Divide the popular votes by the Electoral College votes and sort low to high. 
 Accumulate the E.C. votes to get 270.

Clinton/Gore got pluralities in 6 more States (total 379 Electoral votes) and 
49.24 percent of the total popular votes in all 50 States/D.C.

Similar paragraph 1 indirect minority rule elections have happened since 1832 
when many State legislatures permitted the actual voters elect the Electors 
of the E.C.

Any U.S. President election may produce another 1860 type election (and a 
following 1861-1865 type Civil War) notwithstanding the appearance of 
stability in the U.S. government structure (depending on the extent of any 
comments by a major party loser who gets a majority of the popular votes).

Note the current chaos in Yugoslavia regarding who got a majority in the 
Yugoslavia election for President.
