Gai[Yerro],
           There is no doubt the electoral college is
done for.Some members of the Democratic party have
already vow to sponsor a constitutional amendment to
replace the Electoral College with a direct popular
vote for the president.
Senator Chuck Schumer-NY yesterday said,''i voted for
for the first time 31 years ago,and we use the exact
same process today;the same old clunky machines are
with us.''
Today what we are witnessing cannot be call a
constitutional crisis yet but both parties trying to
claim high ground.Any way let us wait and see what is
going to happen today at 5pm at the expiration of the
time given by the Florida secretary of State.
Regards,
Saihou
