Amid all the speculation about who will eventually be declared the next president of the United States, I am wondering about a related topic.
I’m a hard-core Democrat, and happen to be very proud of it. What I am not proud of is the many people who make false claims that they want fairness.
In response to two letters disagreeing with the intelligence level of Texas Gov. George W. Bush and his supporters (“Bush supporters are not dumb,” and “Texas Governor is not half-witted,” SN 11/14), I’d have to say I question what media coverage you’ve been watching.
“Election 2000” is a phrase we will all see in history books for hundreds of years. This election challenges our Electoral College and our voting system.
The Electoral College should be abolished, but not before the nation’s election process is more accurate.
Extensive reforms at national and local levels must be made to the election process.Tight elections across the country have caused close inspection of the election process, which has revealed discrepancies that have been ignored in landslide elections, but could have affected the outcome of several close races.
Now that we have serious third-party challenges, we need an instant runoff ballot to avoid dilemmas like “spoiler,” “wasted vote” and winners by plurality.
Sorry to all those people who weren’t able to vote on Election Day, but you have to follow the law.
Nov. 11 was more than just day five in the current election crisis - it also was Veterans Day. It is a day that was originally chosen to commemorate the end of the war that was supposed to end all wars, but actually kicked off a century of wars, cold wars, police actions and military-led humanitarian missions.
This is a response to everyone who has responded to Greg Brown’s letter (“Football is killing country’s youth,” SN 11/6). Although I agree with almost all of your points I think you had better reread Brown’s letter.
The MSU Board of Trustees should carefully examine a proposed riot policy before its final passage. An interim riot policy was created by the board after the March 27-28, 1999, riot.
Read the directions first. What directions? Voting in Meridian Township on Election Day, I had some small experience of what those Palm Beach County, Fla., voters must have gone through.
I’ve been The State News’ graduate columnist for a while now, but I’ve written precious little about graduate school.
The notion that because Vice President Al Gore won the popular vote he should be elected to the presidency is an ignorant view.
During the MSU-Purdue football game on Saturday, I found out why students and East Lansing police do not get along.
I have something to confess. Now, I’m not one to wax neurotic about myself. Frankly, I have largely given up on trying to understand the inner workings of my own psyche.
It utterly amazes me that some people on this campus do not know about the new voter registration law.
I agree entirely with Kathryn Feeley’s letter about the Capital Area Transportation Authority service on route 20-S (“Bus service slow transporting ‘U,’” SN 11/8). I live in an off-campus apartment complex at the southwest end of campus, and my only choice for a bus is the 20-S South Harrison Avenue bus.
I found Jessi Phillips’ column in The State News to be completely offensive (“U.S.
This message is for Jessi Phillips in response to her column about still trying to get over her annoyance at the half of the people of the country who could have been dumb enough to vote for such an uninspiring, unprepared empty suit (“U.S.
