[QUOTE="Karin Schill, post: 22179"] I'll say this now before we'll know which side will win... I think the US election system is not very fair. Here in Sweden we have a system based on percentages where the votes are split between many parties according to the actual number of people who voted for them. I think it's a better system quite frankly because it gives the smaller parties a chance to make their voices heard whereas your electoral vote system only leaves you with two choices that matters. Also if you have to hold on to your electoral votes system it seems more fair to divide those according to percentages rather than to give all votes of a state to whoever happens to have the edge. Like for instance if it's a close call like Florida seems to be, why not split the electoral votes in half so each candicate gets as many? That seems to better represents the will of the people.
