Bud, I believe there are 50 states in our United States. I've been pretty busy lately so there is a possibility that more have been ratified.

Actually, I'm just giving you a hard time--that was probably a typo.
Moving on...
Unless you're an affluent, white, Protestant, male I really don't see why anyone would choose to vote for the Republican ticket. Throughout history the Republican party has oppressed minorities and women, has tried to get rid of all social services, has cut funding to public schools, and has created tax cuts and laws that favor the uber wealthy and their businesses. I'm amazed that so many regular folks continue voting for them!
