The United States Presidential election process requires Adjustments

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

The United States Presidential election process requires serious adjustments in order to reflect the true voting desires of the American public. While the process works just fine in most elections, in the case of a close election count, the process simply breaks down. Since the 1900 presidential election, only the 1916 election was even closely contested. Even in the 1916 election, one candidate, Woodrow Wilson, won both the electoral and the popular vote. No other presidential election comes close to the results of the 2000 presidential election contest and while none have since been as close, we, as the voting public, need to resolve potential future issues regarding election decisions.
