I v**ed last Tuesday. No lines, in and out in 20 minutes.
Oh, and I turned my clocks back Saturday night before going to bed instead of waiting until Sunday at 2 AM and there were no lines then, either.

I would bring a light chair, a book and lots of patience.
Keeping in mind my important duty.

Yes, we all have to v**e so the e*******l college will know who to v**e for just like the last e******n.
I think the e*******l college is one of the relics of our government that is no longer needed and should be dismantled along with a few other things like time change

I just came back from my daily walk which brought me past our local polling station. Hardly any sign of life there. Parking lot was empty. Everybody in town v**ed early (including me). The only posters or signs were for a couple of State initiatives.

Then we would be back to the problem that the E*******l College was designed for.
A few large population areas with their own interests would control the P**********l se******n process and everyone everywhere else would be SOL.

In those days the big ones were Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania. Though actually it was more like Richmond, NYC and Philadelphia.

Sure, residents of few large States want domination.

Read some history and you will see, if not agree, with the genius of our founders who created our Constitution. They were much smarter than those who would undo their genius. It takes 2/3 of both houses of Congress to send an Ammendment to the States, and approval by 3/4 of the States to approve. Since over 3/4 of the States are smaller than average population they would lose by approving. So don’t waste your fingers. It isn’t going to happen.

As a resident of a smaller (and predictably Red) State I am thankfull to not allow the big city urbanites to rule the rest of us.

Learn to take naps on your feet. Guys used to do it standing in formation for long periods when I was in the Army. We even had one guy who would go into sort of a "twilight sleep" while marching. The two guys on either side of him steered him by bumping with their shoulders.

One State two v**es (in Senate, anyway). E*******l College does ( unfortunately) allow some domination by large population States. E*****rs = sum of members in both Houses.

The only problem with that is the country will be run by 3 areas... Northeast, Northwest and southern California... leaving the rest of the country ignored.
Unless you have a better idea how every area and every v**e counts, we're stuck with the E*******l College....
I really don't think New Yorkers and citizens of say... Kansas... have all of the same concerns.

Don't look for it to go away anytime soon. Otherwise, the e******n will be decided by Los Angeles and New York.
