Less than 1% of America makes the choice of who you get to vote for

[PollM]

Are you aware that less than 1% of America makes the choice of who you get to vote for?

Why the game is rigged, and why true democracy is only a secondary factor in the nation's rush to nominate the next president.

Digg it

and a (relatively) very small number tell the people who to vote for. Right now it is the MSM people and the Ron Paul Revolution people. We have to compete with the media brainwashing.

Not true. You can write in anybody you wish to on any Presidential ballot.

(Now I will grant that a small percentage of Americans decide which candidates get their names printed out on the ballot. And yes its a scandal and a practice rife with abuse. But let's keep at least a modicum of accuracy in our threadlines, shall we?)

Umm, does the Electoral College have anything to do with it?
