2000 Electoral College Minority Rule Math --- or how an elitist ANTI-
Democracy 3rd grade system from 1787 lingers on and on (regardless of the
1860 election and the resulting horrific 1861-1865 Civil War).
PV - 2000 President Votes, EV Electoral College Votes (= Number of U.S.A.
Rep. seats plus 2 (Senators) per State -- D.C. special 23rd Amdt), C

MN/DC = 243868/67298 = 3.62
Thus the voters in the smaller States have above average power in electing
Presidents (like their control of the U.S.A. Senate).
Somewhat different math in 2004 with revised 435 U.S.A. Rep. seats among the
States (plus 100 EV for 50 States plus 3 EV for DC).
Outrage in defense of 1 person-1 vote Democracy ??? -- missing in action
buried in apathy (especially in the indirect minority rule U.S.A. Congress).
Foreign folks look on in amazement/shock/fear about each election.
Which future President election may produce 1860 type political timebomb
results ???
