Oh, and the electoral college has a purpose. It's to prevent New York and California from deciding the election while the other states go unrecognized.

It's about state representation. The idea that states have their own culture and their own opinions and they should be recognized accordingly instead of marginalized by the bigger states.

new york and california would not have decided the election sir


in fact

every republican vote cast in california and new york is virtually worthless under this system

wouldn't you want those votes to count?


perhaps a reasonable compromise is to make electoral votes proportional

Without the electoral college, smaller states would get marginalized.

@froggo,

The electoral college needs to be improved but not abolished.

A major problem is that districts are drawn up by Republicans/Democrats who can draw them up in a way that negates the majority's votes resulting in the same party being allowed to draw up the new districts in 10 years that will have the same effect.

exactly I think we should shift from a winner take all system to a proportional system

that would definitely make more sense, don't you think
