Do you agree with the electoral college or not. I strongly disagree with it. Just because a state is bigger, they get more say in the election. This is not fair. It is also not fair that many people don't get a say in the election in this regard: If the majority of a state is voting for one person, the people in that statewho vote for another person will have absolutely no say; Their votes won't matter. I say they stop this rediculous system and just go by popular vote. I'm not ranting against Bush (Bush would have won anyway if we just went by popular vote,) I'm just saying that it would be much more fair for this election and for elections to come.
The US Electoral College is bullshit. Do it like Canada, we've never had such problems. It's a simple pencil and paper decision. But then again, our government isn't corrupt enough to rig elections, so who knows how it'd work in the US.
For your first point, you do realize that without the electoral college there would be absolutely NO voice amongst small states, and the candidates would solely concentrate on the major metropolitan areas of the world. I am for electoral reform. I think we should have a proportionate House vote for each states, and the two Senate votes going to the candidate with the most popular vote as a bonus for winning the state.

[/b][/quote] Well, I guess I haven't realized that. But there still is inequality between the states. There should either be an equal amount of electoral votes, or no college at all.
