Should the electoral college be eliminated?
with it, a person could loose every state by 1 vote except california, and win california by a landslide and then loose the race. with it, democrats in red states feel thier vote doesn't count, and republicans in blue states feel thier vote doesn't count. if the electoral college were to be eliminated, then everyone's vote would count. |

QUOTE(CrackedRearView @ Jun 15 2005, 10:27 PM) How does it give these states an unfair advantage? DC's influence Electorally is 5% of California's. Isn't it the very same people claiming that the Electoral College sucks that are ranting about the 'little guy's' voice not being heard? Tell me how you please that kind of person... ehh. i'm complaining about my vote not counting becasue i'm in a red state. i don't care about the little guy's voice, if the litte guy is a state. if the little guy is a person, they should get an equal vote. that being said; my vote counts for nothing. |

(i'm sure there's more republicans in indiana than democrats, but it might not be that way in pennsylvania or ohio, for example.) |
