First to a majority system is arbitrary and not in any way fair or equitable.


That is absurd, all these other counting systems are merely attempts to benefit special interests or save money by eliminating additional elections.

The primary thing inherently wrong with our system today is universal suffrage. Idiots, dysfunctionals, iliterates, shouldn't be encouraged to vote, and cherishing these unassimilated asswipes as something special to be valued is insane.

The cult of equality is destroying our civilization.

One of them, he said, is the state law that requires a candidate to win 50 percent plus one of the votes cast in a primary election. Often, that requirement forces black candidates into runoff elections that are harder to win, he said.


$1000 cyber dollars says this law was passed by Democrats.

I wonder what Clyburn would say about removing any party affiliation details from a ballot?
