So the Iraqis did that whole voting thing this weekend.
But my question is this: Why the f*ck don’t we have a voting system like Iraq’s? I refer, of course, to the fact that Iraq does not have any kind of bullshit electoral college. In Iraq, when they vote for a candidate, the popular vote wins the candidate the election. There is no mumbo-jumbo with split electoral votes and changing populations that change electoral values or anything like that.
If our system in the United States was as simple as the Iraqi system, George W. Bush would not have been elected—not in 2000, and not in 2004.
