Here’s why the Electoral College needs to be fixed

Imagine a world in which Hillary Clinton was Donald Trump’s vice president. Or Donald Trump was Joe Biden’s. Impossible to conjure? Funny, that’s exactly what would have happened if the original Constitution as ratified in 1788 applied today.Under the original system of “electors” — the Constitution never mentions an “Electoral College” — the candidate who received a majority of their votes became president. Simple so far. The twist? According to Article II, Section I , the runner-up was vice pr…

Here’s a fun quiz on why Trump vs. Biden is nothing new

We like to think we live in unprecedented — or is it unpresidented? — times. After all, how often does a former president run against a current one? But history has a way of repeating itself, and the two contenders, Joe Biden and Donald Trump, have a combined 158 years between them. That’s a lot of history. With the Florida presidential primary now behind us and the fall campaign already in full swing, here’s a quiz to test your knowledge of presidential history. 1. If Donald Trump wins in Novem…

Here's the political problem of counting pennies in a piggy bank - ...

How much money do you have available for a personal emergency compared with a year ago — less, about the same or more? It’s a simple accounting question — all math, no politics.Not exactly.In a recent national survey of registered voters on a wide range of election-year issues by researchers at the University of South Florida, one answer stuck out: Six in 10 answered that they have less rainy day money than a year ago. That by itself is no real surprise. Last year was tough, and even though the…

Getting angry about property insurance has grown into a state pastime, but allow me to pile on. Let’s start by talking about surcharges, specifically, “recoupment.” It’s a fancy word that often means you’re covering someone else’s costs.My new insurance bill itemizes three of them: $82.16 to cover claims that United Property & Casualty Insurance Co.
