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(sadolakced acid @ Nov 7 2004, 1:25 PM) how would they campain only in big cities? they'd have to campaign everywhere. for instance: in pure red states wthere are no kerry commercials. one bush commercial is all i've seen. i had no idea what the issues were untill i looked them up. pure red and pure blue states are basically ignored. Without the electoral college, it would be a turnout game. If a candidate got every registered voter in New York City to vote for him, he would win the election without appleaing anywhere. There would be NO reason to run ads where there are few people, because it would become expensive. |
