But, less than 400 ballots and the supreme court decided that
election, no one could have predicted that, except, the polls where a
statistical dead heat, so yeah, it could and did flip either way. One
got the popular vote, the other the electoral college. <snip>

Which is why, IMO, we should get rid of the electoral college
altogether so that one state's votes don't decide the election and we
don't have a president who wasn't elected by the majority of the people.

Carol, whose vote was wasted because the candidate she didn't vote for
won her state
