Default American Elections

Hello

I know there is a another thread about which way you would vote, but having just had a quick scan of CNN it looks as though the whole election is based on one state again (Ohio this time though).

Is their system for voting messed up? How on earth can it come down to one state?

Steve.

It's "first past the post" - similar to what we have in the uk. I believe they based the system on ours. GWB has the majority of votes overall in any case, so which ever way it was worked out, the FBI would have made sure he won.
