Isn't that the purpose of an election, to determine who is elected by the votes they receive. The only thing that doesn't make a bit of sense is what you just said.

If you are a democrat living in a red state or vice versa your vote counts for shit. It promotes low turn out numbers at the polls and current power remaining in place (exactly what they want and exactly what the electoral college is still in place after 700 challenges).
If the electoral college was to remain the only fair way to continue would be to divide those electoral votes proportionately to the votes cast. --- help me Instant Runoff Voting, you're my only hope --- There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence. |
