we do this on our site, all of our website is in our cvs tree(we use AxKit so it is on fact XML not HTML). we use a cron script to do a cvs update on the web sources every night, or we can ssh in and do it manually for quick updates.
wrong again, each state is given a number of electoral votes comminsurate with the number of people in the state. It is designed to make sure each state gets fair representation. To get rid of it would cause over half of the states in the union to be unrepresented.
and, if you go back and look...yes there are a number of far left-wingers who are still saying Bush is not really president because he did not get the popular vote.
You obviously don't understand how our system works, or how it came about. Getting rid of the electoral vote would really screw things up. The reason we have it is to level things out and keep a few small but hevily populated areas from controlling the whole country. These protections were required by the smaller states when our constitution was created, and removing it would only mess eerything up. I sure don't want to have a couple cities in the northeast and california telling the rest of us what to do. Besides, only twice in 200 years has someone lost the popular vote and won the electoral, that still does make him president, despite what a few far left-wing liberal hacks would like you to believe.

BINGO... thank you. I tried to explain this in another post as well.

although I might agree with much of what you say, I must point out one flaw. NeXTStep was based on display postscript...OS X is based on display PDF.
