First I started to write a book! "A laymans view of our Constitution". working for almost two years...  in Janurary (I think) I saw something about the "Papers"  ..... maybe I ought to read them before I finish ---  I did,  with little change (except for the mechanios of the Voting... I changed little.

I have been reviewing the Federalist Papers of 1787 (coppies of them) I am amazed at what seems to be there... Limited Government, For protection mainly. The Goverment duties are listed... Sounds good; but better - Another place says the Union (meaning the Federal government) is necessary for protection of course... BUT that in doing so ... It's budjet for that protection will always exceed 50% of the total ...  that, in itself, seems to keep it real government small (most of te time)  We have paid little attention of this fact! Another Place, they speak of a much different way the Federal and State governments are intertwined. Actually, there seems to be a persumption that the States colectively are themselves equal to the Federal Government in power. "A Representative Compound Republican Government, with a Constitution."

AND.... things I do not read; when the "Electors" vote in each State ..."winner takes all", for that State! WOW - not like that at all.

What I see is, Each Electors Vote is Secret. All the Electors vote at the same date and time im each state - not 6 pm in each State. BUT at, for instance, 6pm Eastern Standard time everywhere. The secret ballots never opened untill they are in Washington to be counted. States are not individual; Districts are. All mixed together, opened and counted; after anouncing the President and VP. The ballots sent back to the states ... that is the first time the people can see for whom did their elector vote!

Book is finished- but in my  review process. Kovakit (talk) 18:00, 25 May 2012 (UTC) James Kovarik
