Nov. 4th, 2008 09:50 pmAs y'all have heard, Obama has been elected president.
Or at least, he has gotten the number of electoral votes needed. (I think technically, the electors don't have to vote for who they're pledged to...)
I did vote for him, because I prefer him over McCain (and especially Ms. Palin!)
However, I don't want the country going extremely Democratic. I want MODERATES! Centrists!
this country is getting so polarized.
I would like to see how it would turn out if the Electoral Votes were apportioned according to the percentage of the vote in a state, rather than majority, you get them all.
Ranked voting is something that the country needs.
In other news, Sheriff Joe seems to have won a 5th term as Maricopa Sheriff. :(
