Well, for what is arguably the most important vote in the USA, the presidential election, your statement can be misleading/confusing. The extremely stupid system in the USA, allots electoral votes to a candidate. Having sufficient electoral votes to win the presidency does not imply that the person elected president actually won the majority of votes. Yes the person elected has >50% of the electorate vote but may have <50% of the votes. Go figure.

Shhh... We don't want the rest of the world noticing just how dysfunctional our voting system is in the U.S. Up until now... NO ONE has ever noticed and thought it was working just perfectly. You just let the cat out of the bag! :-) Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
