Bishop recall flops

In reading the article that documented the attempted Recall of Jean Bishop, published on March 1, 2021, I found myself raising an eyebrow to the comment in the first paragraph about how the ousting of Jean Bishop is over, “at least for now” as if to say that there will be another. If so, it would be a complete waste of tax payers money. The article points out how Robert Hall has “complained for months” that Bishop was somehow involved in nefarious acts against a pizza joint she loved to frequent herself. Does it even make any sense? In regards…

Government of the people does not signify minority rule

Dear Editor, Another writer argues for the Electoral College system in which she opines, “Without the Electoral college you have effectively disenfranchised the rest of the country’s voters.” The point is, with the Electoral College you have disenfranchised the majority of the voters. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, as Abraham Lincoln so eloquently expressed at Gettsyburg, does not signify minority rule. As noted before, ratios of one elector for 700,000 people  should not be negated by an elector representing only 200,000 people in my opinion. Lloyd Dickson Seligman
