With the 2008 Presidential Election here, this year's race between Barack Obama and John McCain is finally coming to the home stretch. With a few 'Battleground' States like Ohio, Florida, Colorado and Virginia getting each candidates attention in the final week, it brings into focus just how valuable each state's Electoral College votes is. The Electoral College consists of 538 popularly elected representatives who formally select the President and Vice President of the United States and is a prime example of an indirect election. It's well known that the winner of the majority popular vote isn't always the one that's elected President, it's the one with the most Electoral College votes that's gets nominated. Just ask Al Gore.
We caught up with
Scars on Broadway's drummer
John Dolmayan to get his thoughts on this year's election, our two party system and why he thinks The Electoral College should be disbanded.
"In my opinion either way you're screwed. I don't believe in a two party system and I think the Electoral College should be disbanded and they should let people vote. I think that if you let people vote, more people will vote."
Scars On Broadway's North American tour, which was scheduled to begin October 19th has been cancelled. Guitarist and lead vocalist, Daron Malakian concluded that his heart wasn't into touring at this time, so he made the decision to cancel all scheduled performances. There are no plans to reschedule. Stayed tuned for further details.
