The GOP needs to make a push to eliminate the EC. One man / one vote is the way an election should work. What good is it for a republican to cast a vote in California? What good is it for a democrat to cast a vote in Texas? Why should we keep allowing a few key states to control our destiny?
i agree actually. voting should also be allowed online. we can securly send a million dollars with a click of the mouse why cant we vote that way. by the way obama won the popular vote too so that wouldnt have helped you.
I'm not so sure I want New York and California deciding how it should go. It may be good for them but bad for me. I like the electoral college, and smarter men than me figured out that was the way to go.
I am totally against electronic voting. I understand that Obama won the pop vote, but the GOP nor the Dems should lose just because a person's vote counts for nothing, if he lives in, say CA, TX, OH, etc.
Your vote doesn't "count for nothing", it's part of the popular vote. And if you weren't a minority then your state would be red.
I'm sure that most here on ET won't have anything to worry about. When you aint' got nothin, you got nothin to lose. Bob Dylan I think.
If you live near Disneyland and you voted for Romney, your vote counted for nothing. If you live near Cowboys stadium and you voted for Obama, your vote counted for nothing. The national pop vote does not have to agree with the EC vote. EC vote rules. We need to eliminate the EC.
