im not sure how i stand on this. i do see a need for every small town to have the vote counted. but the bigger cities is where all the revenue to run the government comes from. in voting, you can carry 3 of the smaller states, gaining all of their votes from the electoral college. but the actual voter count from 3 of the smaller states would still probably be less then that of new york city. does this mean that if everyone in new york city wanted a certain candidate for president, their vote shouldn't count as much? i guess the popular vote should decide. does anyone know of any other country that uses anything close to the system that we use?
