Just a note to the stopping distances of a vehicle....these facts and figures are for a driver who is alert and well rested, in good health and not impaired by alcohol or medication. Weather and road conditions, as well as type of vehicle and weight of load being carried can also affect these stopping distance.
The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The founding fathers established it in the Constitution as a compromise between election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.
A year before the voting began, Virginia Republicans adopted the winner-take-all system to ensure that all of its electors supported local boy Thomas Jefferson. In Massachusetts, Federalists mimicked the move to prevent Jefferson from winkling any of that state's electoral votes away from their favorite son, John Adams.
