This electoral college mess is, to put it simply, stupid. My Democratic family and I live in a red state, and their votes (I'm not old enough to vote) don't count because the majority of the state is voting Republican. So they don't vote. People mention how only a fraction of the population votes, and they start campaigns (such as P. Diddy's rather annoying "VOTE OR DIE") to get people to vote, but why should they if their vote doesn't count? What's the point?
More people voted for American Idol than for the President. Isn't that sad? Every single vote needs to be counted and added up. No electoral college. It may make things simpler, but it is not fair. It may take more time, but at least we'll have a better chance of not ending up with a war-mongering idiot for President (Al Gore would've won...).

the reason for it was that rural areas and alaska and such would be ignored, but with 3 each, they see action.
the problem is like with ohio, where it is closer than 55/45, and the winned gets like 20 votes he didn't earn
I think they should go to where the state is divided up into however many votes it gets, and either by total population, ie 60 percent of the state votes for A, 12 out of 20 votes go A, and rest B,
oor by area, where the voter votes the way the majority went in his county or whatever
also, the two party system is messed up, it does NOT give the voter a real choice, it is ussually the lesser of two evils. 4 or 5 parties would work better, where the low ones get dropped and we have a 2nd election

As far as the Dems are concerned the sytem worked for 8 yrars when you had Bad Billy Clinton. Now you want to change the rules because you've been down for 8. Its a constitutional provision and there are good statistical reasons for it. Anybody know what the guy with the long answer is ranting about. Take your meds dude.

It would be cool if you could vote online and all you would need is your credit card so they could register you on their servers so you dont vote twice. See thats what made people vote more on american idol. They did not have to get up and drive. They went online or they text messged to vote. See it all comes down to weather or not the average person wants to get out of their house into their car to vote not all people want to do that on their day off.

Yes. There should not be an electoral vote. That is an inefficient system. Your vote should always count.
I am always voting Democratically but I live in Texas, so my vote never counts in Presidential elections.

We need a reform of education, the voting system may be good if people would care, or be aware of what's going on, and finally, analyse the information...the problem is Global Education 2000, made to augment capacity of learning and reducing capacity of analyse of the subject....It's a governemt Defense program...
Look at those...please investigate and discuss about it, it's serious material...
