Except for the few states where an elector votes a specific congressional district, gerrymandering within the state can’t affect the EC.

A direct democracy would be impossible to police with a national election administered by individual states, with 50 different policies for voter eligibility and opportunities for outright vote fraud.

Presumably, an elector was vetted by his own candidate/party. Inherently, an elector who doesn’t vote for his own candidate is either having a crisis of conscience or is being bribed/extorted by the opposition. I’m not a superfan of the electoral college, but it’s hard to see how it’s a bad thing for government when…

Disappointed there weren’t any CJK5H cleats.

Yes.

Aside from making heavy goods transportation energy agnostic, how is this a significant change?

Fuel points wouldn’t need to be more common than Tesla’s network of superchargers. It would take less than 1000 fuel stations to have an adequate network. Long haul trucks don’t need a fuel station on every corner, because they move from point to point, not in small orbits around a fixed point.

That’s true for me, too, but it’s usually when I decide it’s a good day for Second Breakfast.

Was he productive? Did he achieve his goals? He then spends the following 60 seconds considering the hour to come. Once properly centered, Hinkie proceeds with his day.

That’s fine. You’ve got an open tab to get as many fines as you want to pay. Sooner or later, your driver’s license and your registration will be expired.

Proving that ONE state election is crooked is persuasive evidence that ANY state election CAN be crooked. It’s like assuming that cops are decent folks who wouldn’t simply shoot and murder (black) people for no good reason, then putting video recorders in everyone’s pockets and finding out that they do. At that…

Actually, it doesn’t hurt United as long as no one gives business travelers benefits. It’s only a “race to the bottom” when everyone participates.

I agree that he attempts to manipulate the media, at least strategically, and now he’s going to try to bully the media with the power of government, but he really doesn’t have much control over what comes out of his mouth.

Actually, he isn’t trying to distract you from what he’s doing. He literally isn’t that sophisticated.

It it truly a bizarre path to insight when Gene Simmons is a waypoint.

Cutting bennies to business travelers is fine with me. If my brother in law weren’t automatically upgraded to first several times a week, he’d be pushing back hard when a carrier takes away another inch of legroom in coach, which would be to my benefit when I travel once a year to see him.

The free checked bag and the meal aren’t significant incremental costs. The operating costs are the killers.

Technically, a volunteer or paid employee has duties. Election doesn’t enter into it. If the hostess of the White House is a volunteer who is given the title of First Lady of the United States, that’s the gig and the title, with the responsibilities and privileges thereunto etc. The US government has lots of…

As a rule, I don’t blame poor people who are willingly exploited nearly as much as the rich people who exploit them. Trump could have given her the same life without fucking her. He didn’t, and wouldn’t.

Rich guys got their money by making good decisions, and they keep it by driving Camrys instead of Ghiblis.
