I feel that the presidential election results should be based *completely* on popular vote. 1 vote = 1 voice. FYI, the Electoral College system was actually devised by our founding fathers because they felt that the common man really couldn't be trusted with a decision that important. This was their 'backup system'. Basically, if one state is predominantly Rep or Dem, an opposing vote in that state is practically meaningless. There have been several times in American history where the popularly elected candidate lost the election. Any thoughts?
