The reason the Electoral college does NOT work is because there are always biased people casting votes for the "masses", trying to narrow down the results to only a few in most cases, as well as each state has a different # of votes based on it's population. Where to have a truely FAIR election process, each state should only have 12 votes.
There is absolutely NO reason why California should have 54 votes while Montana gets 3.
Each state should have 12 representatives from their state, with at least one of each of the following types of people on the panel:
African, Caucasion, Hispanic, Middle-Eastern, Asian, Female, Male, Wealthy, Poor, Blue Collar, White Collar, Youth, Elderly and so on... Covering as many broad backgrounds as possible within the 12 slots. Every 4 years new Electors should be voted in by popular vote.
Each of the states gets: 12 Votes (TOTAL: 612)
Each of the 6 US Territories should get: 9 Votes (TOTAL: 54)
The playing field needs to be leveled.

why should a state that has less people than Los Angeles get the same weight? |
