And furthermore... many people flame me for this... I actually believe in the electoral College. I believe that the system gives everybody a more fair valued vote throughout the country. Without a system like the electoral College, populous states would carry almost all of the power while less populous states would basically have no power and no voice.
The city of San Diego alone could trump the state of Montana. The people of San Diego hold different values than the state of Montana. Just because Montana has a very small population, does not mean that they should not have a voice.
