The big question is why we talk about the popular vote as if it's actually

The big answer is that it is about as fully counted as the census.


Now, I'll admit to not knowing much about the census, but I *assumed* the
census tried to count every U.S. citizen. Is this not correct? If it is
correct, than the popular vote is *not* as fully counted. I'm willing to bet
none of my absentee ballots for the last 4 presidential elections have ever
been opened. Conversly, I'm confident my last two census forms were processed.
Why wouldn't they be?

They just found a young girl and her mother who have been hiding for 9 years.
I bet they didn't fill out the census form... :-) Well OK, they probably didn't vote
either.
