Iowa Seeks To Remove Electoral College

Zebano writes "Since changing the US constitution is too much work, the Iowa senate is considering a bill that would send all 7 of Iowa's electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote in a presidential election. This would only go into affect after enough states totaling 270 electoral votes (enough to elect a president) adopted similar resolutions."

And that the states each use different voting machine setups, each with their own error rates.

And the sheer logistics of trying to do a "national" recount - look at the amount of vote fraud pulled by the Franken camp in Minnesota - 25 counties that now show more votes than voters, selective recounting of Dem-heavy districts, fraud trying to "certify" the election even while significant challenges existed and some counties hadn't even finished their processes yet... now imagine trying to nationally recount the "national popular vote" while dealing with the fact that every state (and in some states, even different counties) have different counting standards, different voting machinery with higher or lower error rates...
