  1. So you would agree that everything should be done on a straight up/down vote?

  2. So if someone is say a Republican and they live in a State like California, should they feel like their vote doesn't matter?

  3.  @anorman67  Then why would you live somewhere that puts you in that situation? Why not move to a state more aligned with your values?

  4.  @nickb2912  So if enough states voted to reinstate Slavery they could do it?

  5. So give each state say two electors and not do it by population?

  6.  @anorman67  So how does their vote not count? Al Gore lost the 2000 Presidential race by 5 Electoral Votes. It sounds to me like even the smallest of states made a difference in that race so yes, every vote mattered.

  7.  @anorman67  And if you do away with The Electoral College, 4 States would decide a Presidential Race. How many states would it take in the Mid-West to make up the population of New York or California? But I guess it's OK with you for those states to not matter because they don't vote for the candidate YOU support anyway.

  9.  @matthewsemrad1474  How do they have oversize power? The Electoral College votes are by population. That is why California has 54 votes and Wyoming has 3.

  10.  @enolopanr9820  So would you say we should use the popular vote for everything?

  11.  @lunaticfringe896  Why, because YOU disagree with him?

  12.  @lunaticfringe896  So anyone who doesn't agree with you is biased and stupid?

  13. Why?

  14. So you want to abolish The Constitution, or just the parts YOU don't like?

  15. Why, or just because YOU say so?
