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.

This was pre-name switch right?

What name switch?

There was never a name switch. The Republican Party was founded by John C. Fremont in 1856, and the Democratic Party has been founded by Thomas Jefferson in 1800. They are still the same parties they used to be.

Many of their bases have, but they never swtiched their names, nor many of their core ideals. Republicans have traditionally been the pro-big business party, and the Democrats were always the anti-big business party.

However, the distinction is, the Democrats used to be anti-big government AND anti-big business, while the Republicans used to be pro-big government AND pro-big business, but now the Democrats are pro-big government and the Republicans are against (at least in theory), which IMHO is kinda screwed up.
