billytea definitely knows more than I do about this stuff, or at least more than I remember. Wowza.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

I think that right now the more egregious culprit is that the electoral process - and here I'm thinking specifically of districting - is in most states under partisan political control.
Which is one place where California is ahead of the curve. We approved the appointment of a non-partisan Redistricting committee, and their work was IIRC reviewed by the State Supreme Court, and yesterday the electorate approved the redistricting. No more gerrymandering!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In the future we won't elect presidents. We'll have a primary, then Nate Silver will go into a spice trance and pick the winner.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am on vacation!
Of course, I still need to clean the house, do some gardening I didn't get to this weekend, take Dita to the vet, go into the office to get a flu shot, decide what to pack, do laundry, get a check in the mail to my sister, possible buy new pants, shave my legs, clean out the fridge, and do a bunch of other stuff I am forgetting.
But I am on vacation. WHOOO

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Of course many forms of preferential voting, especially PR, would make partisan redistricting less effective.

Trust my rage
I find it interesting that a state gets its EC total by adding its representatives plus senators this evolving how it gives small states a greater proportional representation. (Although there are three extra and I can't remember where they come from? I'm sure someone does...)
