Here Come The Lawyers

It is becoming more and more likely that we could see a split in the popular and electoral votes in the coming election.

If this does happen and it is The President who wins the election by winning the electoral college it is going to be fascinating to see the extreme right tie itself in knots.

Many people are anti electoral college. I am not one of those. I feel that it is clear that a popular vote system would lead to a greater propensity for voter fraud and leave us with many more regional candidates. One must admit however that we are dangerously close now to having regional candidates at this time.

If we have the predicted potential split in the vote will those on the right declare the President illegitimate, will they state that the popular vote winner has to be the winner.

Looking back at the year 2000 one cannot possibly see any rational, serious, Republicans making that claim. However the claims will be made. The Rush Limbaugh's and Sean Hannity's will never take a loss in that way sitting down.

It could be interesting and dangerous for the country.
