We if you looks at the 2000 resluts the majority of Americans in fact did NOT vote for Bush. But America doesn't elected Presidents that way. Which in it'self is reatrded. The current system is practically set up for a republican win every 4 years.
Illinois( DEM territroy ) 12.4 mil popualtion 21 electoral votes
Idaho, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska( REPUB territory ) COMBINED 5.8 million population 21 electoral votes.
Massachusetts( DEM territory ) 6.3 million population 12 electoral votes
How can states that have less than half the popualtion of another state have the SAME electoral power? How can states than have the same popualtion of another have TWICE the electoral power?
If we are going to keep this arcane system then it needs to be tweaked.
