- This is interesting. Just out of curiosity, if we didn't have an electoral
- college, then how long do you think the standoff
- between three parties could go on? Would it be 34% of the vote is majority,
- and when the third party is out make it 50% for the remaining two? What
- would we do for a President if we went for months without electing anyone by
- majority vote?
