111. "And you keep telling us to "Get over it""
"Get over it" is more important than the constitutional right of having your vote count? Please.


Actually I think the constitution has little or nothing to say about your right to have your vote count. I don't think that there is even a requirement to have *any* voting at all, in the sense of direct voting, for presidential elections. That idiotic electoral college mechanism is all that is mandated, and how each states selects its electors is up to each state. The only constitutional issues involve equality - as in the 'one man one vote' decisions back when the supreme court actually protected individual rights, and in the recent and bizarre selection of bush jr. in 2000 using a rather warped interpretation of equal protection theories.
