Voting A Waste Of Time?

[GattaFish]

2000: Al Gore had over half a million votes more than George W. Bush, with 50,992,335 votes to Bush's 50,455,156.

Today, a candidate must receive 270 of the 538 votes to win the election, so George W. Bush won the 2000 election by one electoral vote.



Hell with the politics,,,, See you all at SWE tomorrow,,,,,

Bingo Tom! MY point exactly! The people voted for Gore and Bush won due to the lopsided system!

It's not lopsided really, it is our system that elected representatives have created. This doesn't mean it's perfect, but I only see a very small but vocal minority calling for change to a popular vote.
