What do people think of some sort of rounding scheme to prevent a national
recount in the event of a popular presidential election?
(And yes, Demorep, I agree that the EC is evil, I'm just pondering the best
replacement for it.)

D- At least 2 of us on this list observe that the EC is evil --- and
ultra-dangerous ---- as if the mass murder (1861-1865 Civil War) after the
1860 EC indirect minority rule election of Mr. Lincoln was not enough to get
rid of the rotten- to- the- core EC system.
One of these years a popular vote winner for President but EC loser may use
his/her mouth and create some very major chaos.
The various States and major cities and a zillion smaller areas seem to
survive with simple one person- one vote systems (and recount systems) for
State Governor, city mayors, etc.
What has been the largest one person- one vote recount election in world
history that got resolved peacefully using ordinary ways and means
(including, if necessary, the courts) ???
