“I have ever considered the constitutional mode of election…as the most dangerous blot on our constitution, and one which some unlucky chance will some day hit.”
Thomas Jefferson, 1823
“Can we forget for whom we are forming a government? Is it for men, or for the imaginary beings called States?”
James Wilson
"It's a ridiculous setup, which thwarts the will of the majority, distorts presidential campaigning and has the potential to produce a true constitutional crisis…The majority does not rule, and every vote is not equal — those are reasons enough for scrapping the system."
The New York Times, 08/29/04
