Still Passionate and Confused

because like many other aspects of the electoral system it's out dated. That's how it's always been done. In the 1700 - 1800's is made some sense, travel being more difficult, counting ballots and tabulating the results and them getting them to the capital (new york in those days I think) Perhaps I'm being eleitist, rude and snooty here, but I think it would be a fine thing if their system would come in to say the 20th century? And I don't count those stupid voting machines. Think of the money they could save if they were restricted to say 6 weeks for each stage, that would still give them plenty of time to get all over the country. We aren't in the 1800'd anymore.
