Wow. Suddenly being from Massachusetts isn’t so bad.

On a side note I did end up voting this past weekend. But still, I felt like it was a complete waste of time. Why did I vote? beats me. For some unknown reason I felt guilty not voting.

my problem is that I think the current voting system is flawed. I kind of feel guilty having voted, thus participating in a system that I don’t fully support. really though, I guess I’m not one to talk. because I have yet to come up with a better system. When I do, I’ll let y’all know.

You can be sure that my system will have at least these two improvements:
1. The candidate debate process would involve a halo showdown
2. When you cast your vote you get a free bag of jelly beans.

ahh Jelly beans. Nature’s candy.

I don’t like that www.votepair.com thing. I don’t think it’s right.

Why not?
Its routing around the damage of the electoral college… Why don’t candidates visit every state? because there’s nothing to win. only the battleground states are worthy like they’re the favorites. I think that while it worked alright for a good long time, the electoral college is broken and ought to be fixed to better represent people and I think that something like what Colorado is working on (the splitting of their electoral votes) might be a good way to go about it.
