I know how it works dumbass. I'm making a point that it shouldn't be that way. 50% of the people don't vote because they know their vote doesn't really count. MY point is if NOBODY voted for Bush in NY and California nad NO ONE voted for Gore in Texas and Florida the electoral count would have ended up being the same which is fucked up.
Since elecotral votes are made of the # of Representatives and Senate members each state has then it makes sense then to award electoral votes by CONGRESSINAL district with the statewide winner getting the 2 Senate electoral votes.
