what is F.E.C (federal election commission)? and McCain Feingold? what is the weekness of electoral college?

Answer 1

FEC oversees elections nationwide

McCain Feingold takes away our freedom to speak
specifically - the 30 days prior to elections
bans any negative ad campaigns in all media - so that
the incumbents have the edge (who were they protecting - THEMSELVES)

electoral college - perceived weakness of not electing with the most number of votes, but spreads the votes fairly to the states - so that the 50th state in the union with the lowest population - has a voice against state #1

Interesting facts about the last election

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000
Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

Answer 2

The main weakness of the electoral college is that it concentrates the power to pick the president in a few swing states, such as in the last two elections, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania. After the primaries, the candidates ignore states whose electoral votes are not in play. For more information, download the free book at:
