I agree, except for the Electoral College, if we just used the popular
vote, small states and smaller portions of the electorate would have no
say what so ever, they would only campaign in and for NY, CA, TX and FL,
nothing else would much matter, including NJ, not to mention places like
ND or WV.
A guy explained it to me this way, the team that goes to the playoffs
isn't the team with the most runs, it's the one who wins the most games.
Makes sense! You have to be aware of all the people, not just run up a
lot of votes appealing to the masses.
