RE: vote swapping rant

Dear friends,

I agree with Marc here! This whole thing would be completely unnecessary if
we did not have the stupid Electoral College. This, in fact, is one of the
reasons that I have been ardently against the Electoral College for over
twenty years when I first learned about it in US History class!! (Who says
our youth do not learn anything in high school!).

Your brother in arms,

Shahab....

Subject: vote swapping rant

My 20 Wan worth:

I find the whole concept of vote swapping to be disturbing at best.
Repulsive perhaps.  If this isn't a way to abuse the whole voting system, I
don't know what is.  It is nothing short of prostituting your vote to
someone else.  I have voted for candidates that I knew were going to lose.
I still voted for them.  Call me stupid, but anything less of doing that
would have been wrong.  There is no gray middle ground here.

Thank you for listening to this rant.  You may now go back to your
regularly scheduled email.

Marc
