The AP dissects the electoral college

Seth Borenstein, a science writer at the AP who doesn't know enough to keep his scientific fingers out of politics, has written a clear, straightforward analysis of voting and the electoral college. We're heard much of this before–that the electoral college creates ripples that can cause the election to tip to the candidate who did not get the most votes. 

But Borenstein gives us the clearest analysis of the problem I've seen. (And see the sidebar here.)
