I'm so proud...

...of my home state, Nebraska. You see, I think Nebraska has it all figured out in terms of awarding electoral votes... Read more here, and I think you'll see what I mean. The irony, of course, is that Nebraska rarely doesn't vote Republican across the board (for the president, at least), so this great system of allocated electoral votes normally doesn't make a difference in total. But this time it did! I'm thankful Barack was the clear cut winner this election, and we don't have to deal with the same scrutiny that took place in 2000 & 2004, but I still believe that there are still elections reforms needed, allocated electoral votes included!

I wrote a paper about this very topic back in late 2000 for my freshman English class...I should see if I can find it, and post it up here.
