For the purposes of this show, I operate on two mottoes:
- You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own facts;

- An educated electorate is a prerequisite for a democracy.
SIGNOFF QUOTE[s]:
“…the people of each State shall choose a number of persons as electors, … who shall assemble within the State, and vote for some fit person as President. Their votes, thus given, are to be transmitted to the seat of the national government, and the person who may happen to have a majority of the whole number of votes will be the President. But as a majority of the votes might not always happen to centre in one man, and as it might be unsafe to permit less than a majority to be conclusive, it is provided that, in such a contingency, the House of Representatives shall select out of the candidates who shall have the five highest number of votes, the man who in their opinion may be best qualified for the office.
The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; – PUBLIUS (aka Alexander Hamilton)
