Re: F... US voting bureaucracy
One of the good things about the electoral college is that it takes the pressure off of a vote that would wind up roughly 50/50. If a popular vote (for an important election) was split down the middle, like + or - 2%, you'd have 2000 all over again, in every state. It would be mass chaos.
It is a pretty outdated system though, and could use some refining. I'm just not sure that straight up-popular vote is the best way to go.
