Florida?

Still sulking about that huh, it was a close one, but one cannot forget in the final vote comes from the Electoral College.

But not a fair comparison to the Russian elections.

Supreme Court could not make the final decision, no one has total control over the Electorial College, not even the people. The vote could have been 1000 to 1 and the 1 could possibly be the winner.


"A result of the present functionality of the Electoral College is that the national popular vote bears no legal or factual significance on determining the outcome of the election. Since the national popular vote is irrelevant, both voters and candidates are assumed to base their campaign strategies around the existence of the Electoral College; any close race has candidates campaigning to maximize electoral votes by capturing coveted swing states, not to maximize national popular vote totals."

Was not.
