In my mind, a non-major party President is an ideal balance against Congress

Do you want a popular vote? If so then the major population areas will control the presidency.

The electoral college makes sure every state is equally respresented.

The point of this is that electors can vote however they want.... which has nothing to do with the popular vote or not. Hell they could choose to follow the population centers themselves.

Apparently not. :lol: Just had to look that one up. I spent most my time in Southeast NC when I was stationed there for 4 years. Only place I visited up that way was Kill Devil Hills and Kittyhawk.

I have several friends who drive red trucks and value what yall do. My point is just dont let that power get to your head. Dont put your hands on anyone in that situation. If someone wants to put themselves in harms way, they have that right. That is an ABSOLUTE violation of the 4th amendment and your halligan is no match for my FiveseveN.
