From: DIESEL-AT-pseud.pseud Date: Sat, 11 Sep 2004 10:58:06 -0600 Subject: M-INTRO: Electoral college Toby asks "what good does a majority do in an election?" I think that this is a good question because every one person's vote should count, but if for example there was suprisingly enough the same ammount of votes for each candidate(individually)? What would then determine the tie breaker? If i understand correctly the majority is a rounded number and a winner could be determined. On the contrary, if there were lets say 40 states and twenty states went to one candidate and twenty to the other, then those individual votes (not the majority/rounded) would also determine the winner. would it not? Its tough to determine what is the best way to "count" the votes. --- from list marxism-intro-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
