A Growing Movement to Stack the Deck

Google "electoral college reform" and you'll see that there is a growing movement to change the election system that has served this country well for so long. Since 2000, phrases like "outdated and ineffective" are bandied about on over 5,000 websites. A picture is painted of a failing Democracy.

Don't be fooled!

There are many broken governmental systems in America. Some are being tackled. Others are being ignored. But, anyway you look at it, there is no reason to change the electoral college. In fact, with a little more digging, it becomes painfully obvious that this movement has nothing to do with "reforming" a process gone wrong. It has everything to do with designing a more favorable process for a political party that by all accounts lacks any sense of direction.

The doubtful among you might point to the tumultuous 2000 Presidential Election as the reason for the call to action to dump the electoral college. However, don't overlook the significance of the 2000 Census. Within its pages one can find the proverbial "writing on the wall." And the story is not a pretty one for the political party not in power.
