The 12th Amendment to the Constitution......it served it's purpose in the 1800s...not in the current environment. 4951

Soooooo, all the people in the gray areas of the map do not deserve their votes be counted. Only those in the populous areas need bother to show up and those highly populated cities duke it out in the polls for control of the rest of the country? 4951

@calguy:What was the purpose you believe it served in the 1800s that no longer applies?What do you propose to replace it with? 4951

Ignoring the voters in the middle of the country is precisely why the Democrats lost this election. Most of these areas were Democratic strongholds. Instead of doing away with the EC, the D party needs to stop catering to the far left and get back to its roots of being the party of the working class. 4951

@TexasOmaThe flip side to that is so the  plurality's will does not count.   An argument that the rules are what they are is better.  And consider this, your and my vote cast in a city counts less than the vote cast in Poteau, OK counts less.  Another concept is giving weight to the votes cast in a state's GDP.   That concept gives Texas either the 2nd or 3rd best punch.I prefer a plurality method by an informed public where the participation exceeds 70% of the eligible electorate but good luck getting an informed electorate to participate at such a level. I know this will be incendiary but, why not follow Israel's method.  It would destroy binary elections. 4951

@TexasOmaNo, that is not what I said.  I only pointed out that the result THIS time yielded a result where the agrarian vote wins the electoral college.  The fact is this great country (I disagree with the notion that it is not) has a series of divisions that must be worked out if we are to remain.  The Poteau voters voice should not carry greater weight than yours. That you disagree with that surprises me.  I did not take you as the lesser than anyone type. 4951

I still don't understand why one person's vote counts more than another person's just because of where they live. That just seems unfair to me. 4951
