My local telco uses this for their rural customers. They claim to have DSL available for aprroximately 95% of their customer base. Considering that their moverage area is the Oklahoma panhandle this is pretty impressive.
"At least if the Surpreme Court was honest, they would have made it a precident, and forced the nation to clean (Read, Standardize) up the electoral system."
According to my interpretation of the Constitution, that ruling would be unconstitutional.
Acording to Article II Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution: "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector."
Therefore a Supreme Court Justice could not vote to standardize the electoral system while obeying their oath to uphold tyhe Constitution.
