I do not believe that Dr. Buckwalter is a board certified pain management specialist. The fact is that the dosages he prescribed to some of these patients is WAY above typical high level dosages. Dr. Buckwalter should have sent some of these patients to board certified docs who specialize in managing pain. He didn't. Further more, the records he kept did not document to necessity for the excessive dosages he prescribed. There seems to be little doubt that Dr. Buckwalter failed in his care of at least several patients.

I understand the arguements against the electoral college... Yes every vote is important, etc...

However, eliminating the electoral college would significantly change our presidental elections and not in a good way. Those that have said Nevada and other small population states wouldn't see a presidient are correct. The candidates just wouldn't get their bang for their buck here.

The election campaign would basicically take place in less than 20 states, is that a good thing?

Also in a reasonably close election you can expect both parties to ask for recount after recount. It is possible that an election might not be called for months after the law suits, it could make the Florida mess in 2000 look like the minor leagues.

Exp #1 - 1960 Kennedy won the popular vote over Nixon 34,226,731 to 34,108,157

Exp #2 - 1968 Nixon - 31,785,480, Humphrey - 31,275,166

Exp #3 - 1976 Carter - 40,830,763, Ford - 39,147,973

Obviously everyone knows about 2000.... The point is, these elections would have become so bogged down that who knows how long it would take to name a winner.

Like it or not...The electoral college is still the most logical way to choose a president.
