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.

just becasue liberals are pissed bush got elected doesn't mean everything liberals do is because we're pissed.

think; maybe blocking bush's judicial nominations are just because they're bad? oh, so the conservative christian judge who favors christians and is more than slightly racist is a good choice for a judge?

and you forgot one thing when you talk about states being thrilled. states are entirely blue or red. sectionalism is at a minimum. there is little state loyalty these days.

no, we are the united states of america. singular. i'd say most everyone's loyalty is to the US first, and if they even have a loyalty to thier state, it's after that.

if each state were one entity with one idea and always agreed on which candidate to vote for; then yes, the electoral college works.

but it doesn't work that way.

you're emphasising state's rights here. the state is more imporant than the individual. it doesn't matter that the individual vote counts shit, the state's vote counts something, so it must be good.
