38. There is no proper way to eliminate it without amending the Constitution

Edited on Tue Sep-16-08 03:36 PM by slackmaster

It takes just 13 state legislatures to stop an amendment.

It's not going to happen.

And no, I don't agree with the cockamamie "National Popular Vote" scheme.

The NPV people have been strangely quiet in recent weeks, especially at times when Obama has been behind in the projected popular vote but ahead in the projected EC vote.

I'll go way out on a limb here and say that if Obama gets fewer votes than McCain and wins because of the EC, the "dump it" people here won't have a lot to say.
